Michelin currently makes a 20575R14 Load Range "D" that is currently available. I was just in to a tire dealer for them Saturday. They told me that the tire is about 1/4 inch bigger in diameter than the now discontinued MXT 205/70R14.

This is my next tire of choice, unless I decide that haveing the bigger brakes is a "must have". Then there is no choice but to get the 15 inch rims.
