>>Have to get a new set of tires - suggestions on
type of tires?

If you can justify the price of the Michelins to
yourself, go MXT, XCS (that's what sears told me)
or the new Agilis (in 205/75/14).

I couldn't.  I bought a set of load range D tires
made by Cooper- Mastercraft Courser R/D in
195/14. They also have a load range C tire in
185/14.)  See www.coopertires.com.  (It seems to
be down tonight or I'd give you the exact
address.)

I was skeptical, as I've never purchased a tire
other than Michelins and an occasional Firestone.
 However, I'm really happy with them FWIW. No
road noise.  Mud/snow tread and good in what
little rain we've had so far.  MARKED improvement
in stability over the brand new passenger car
tire that was on the vehicle. (I'm not the kind
of guy who feels horsepower gains every time I
add new spark plugs, synthetic oil, or that new
super turbo air filter.)
