Never heard of these, but if they are really a 185R14 meaning 
reinforced, and the weight rating is 1400lbs or more, then it's 
probably not a bad deal, since they're Michelin. Check the max. psi 
rating though - it should be 40 psi at least. 
 
Incidentally, I rotated my Yoko Y370s to the rear & put the Conti 
TS750s on the front, which confirmed my suspicions: the Conti's are 
junk. They are *way* too soft, even on the front at 42psi. And 
judging by the number of rock cuts in them, I'll be replacing them 
soon with 2 more Yokos.
