Even if money is tight, the extra $160 for a set of Agillis is SOOOOOOO
worth it. The 356 is really a truck tire, like you'd see/hear on a
bakery truck. They whirr, and wobble, and have a primitive tread
pattern.

Since I am a male, I require a sexy tread pattern on my van... something
sophisticated, something provocative, something that looks
purposefully-designed.

356's just don't turn heads.

I checked TIRERACK.COM last night for a friend and they have both the
Yokohama Y356D ($58) and the Agilis($99) available in the 185R14 sizes.

Just do a search on 185 0 14 sizes and check all the boxes under "light
truck tires" and leave rest blank.

I included the link, just in case it would work.
