Just a quick followup note on tires/available:

Just ordered the following:

Michelin MXT "reinforced" 205/70 TR14s

max psi: 50 lbs
Load index: 1709/wheel-tire @ 118 MPH
280 AB: A wet traction rating, B temp rating

$91/tire + shipping + 388.28 for 4

expensive, but if these won't carry the load I'll be surprised!

will let you know how these run on the Alloys as time goes by.
