I recently put a set of Continental Contact reinforced 185/14Rs on my 87 Wolfy. Haven't had them long, but so far so good. Fairly aggressive tread pattern. Average road noise. They're definitely better than the generic 205s the PO had on there. Much stiffer. Cost $45 each at Tirerack.com. Chad Knutson Minneapolis, MN
