As reported before, I have  Vredestein Comtrac in 195R14.  In this size,
these are D rated ("four ply"), so they meet our load requirements and then
some.  They also can be inflated to the 53 psi (actually to 65 psi)
required for the rear for our vehicles.  They also come in 185R14, and most
common 15" wheel sizes.  They are a dedicated van tire, and are winter
rated by states that require traction tires for winter conditions (mountain
snowflake symbol), but are for use year round.  Hard to find, tireseasy.com
lists them currently as "out of stock" for all sizes.  mcneely
