Dave -

If they are Kumho 852s, I have been running the 195R-14 size for a couple of
summers now, and am quite satisfied.  As long as you keep the pressure up,
(48 r 39 f)they track well.  They are firm, but ride feel is a combination
of tires, shocks and your rear end, so all I can say is it works for me.

I run four LT M&S tires in the winter, so can't say how the Kumhos would do
in the slop, but rain doesn't bother them.

Good luck

In disgust, I went across the street to another dealer (Big O).  They
apparently can get 185 R 14 tires in load range D (Kumho, @ $84)
or load range C (Yokohama Y356 @ $87).
