I always recommend the Yokohamas.  I just placed an order yesterday from The
Tire Rack for a set of 8 ply Yokohama 370 (stock number 37047) 19575R14 all
season tires.  They are $58 ea. and the Tire Rack will  deliver them in a
couple of days by UPS.

I'm putting these on my '74 Campmobile and taking the very good Yokohama Y356
8ply tires that are on there now and putting them on my Toyota Van.

Make sure you get the Y370s and not the Y370G which is a passenger tire.
There is a lot of confusion between the two.  The 8 ply tires will give you an
unbelievable ride and yes, I believe you are at risk if you are not running
reinforced sidewall tires.
