Mark

I just put the 185 x 14 Agilis 61's on my alloy rims and I am quite happy
with the look.  It is a little different looking than the 205/70 MXT's, but
still looks good.  The 61's are a really heavy duty looking tire with real
beefy looking side walls.  My opinion is that a skinny tire is much better
in the snow than a wide one (other factors not withstanding).  I won't
really know until about Feb. or Mar., but I do know that the 205/70 MXT's
weren't very good in snow.

I am pretty sure the 14" are not available in 205/70.  You ought to be able
to find out on the Michelin Web Site.
