That tire is not adequate at all. If using a standard passenger tire, you
need to go to a 215-70/14 to get an adequate load rating, (1554lbs). This is
needed to compensate for the fact that each tire will not be evenly loaded.
I would also look for a tire that can be inflated to 44psi which is now
becoming common.

How difficult to find  a  decent quality  14" truck tire at a price to fit
the budget? I did find a 'new' tire last night at Sears
sears 'Road Handler' Voyager   185-70 /14
5 ply  with a load rating of 1312 lbs max and 160km tread warranty
Sale price this week of  $92.99 C.A.D.  Sears Stock # 28-63436.
That  looks almost good  enough, don't you think?
