I bought the proper Michelin tires about two years ago
for my '91 Camper after speaking to a person at Michelin
about a replacement for the discontinued original MXL
reinforced tires. The correct tire is the Michelin MXT
reinforced 205/70R14, Michelin part number 73568.
The tires have driven fine, are pretty quiet, and
have held up well. I think they were about $75 or $80
each at the time.
