I have on my 88GL Michelin XCA's 205/70/R14's Load Range "D", 8 ply (6 on the road, 2 up the sidewall) 65psi. I like the tire. performs well. It is in Michelins Commercial Tire line, meaning you will have to ask for it, as it IS a truck tire. It has tall, very stiff sidewalls and improves handling significantly.

Regards,

John Rodgers 88 GL Driver
