I was not having luck finding the right Michelin and they were expensive so I did a bit of research and found and bought the following from the Tire Rack: Sumitomo HTR 200, 205/70R 14 95H, rated at Max load 1521 lbs and max pressure at 51 psi. I have had them for nearly 2 years and they are just great.
