Have you considered the Michelin 205/75R14? It has an 8 ply side wall
and a "D" load rating.

Can be found in Michelins Commercial Tire line and is readily available.
I'm getting a set for my 88 GL at the end of the month.

The archives gave me lots of options, but also as many counter-options. Cost counts, but this isn't the area I'm willing to skimp on.
