Being locked in on stock 14 inch rims for a while longer yet, I just put on a new set of 4 Michelin XCA 205-75R14's, 8 ply, 65 psi, Load Range D, tires. Tough, heavy duty, strong sidewalls, tops load range. Stands just a tad taller than a 205-70R14 tire, but not enough that you would ever notice the difference, either in the way the van sits or in the speedometer. Cost installed,balanced, tax - $135 ea. Hopefully this will be the last time I buy 14 inch tires. I fully expect to be on 15 inch rims next time around, which will give me a wider range of tire/price choices.
