I just checked out Sear/NTB, where the 10% off card works, and they
can get the Michelin MXT 205/70R14 REINFORCED for about $110 per tire.

Sears can also order Continental reinforced  which is what
my 78 Westy came stock with.  IMHO they are Michelin's equal.

My newly acquired 89 is wearing Big O Big Foot 27X8.5LT.
I think they're pretty good tires.  If you ask one of our friends on
the Type2 list, they would say Yokohama is the best-cost effective
tire there is.

A good rule of thumb is that the load rate be around 1500-1600lbs.

There's my .02.

Keep to the High Road
