Jeffrey Any Michelin tire dealer should be able to get her the Michelin XCA 205-75R14 8 ply load range D Tire. It has a vey high sidewall rating and is an excellent replacement - even an upgrade - for the old MXT 205-70R14. The lady may have to tell the dealer that they are to be found in Michelins line of commercial truck tires. There is a very slight difference in the outside diameter of the tire, but not enough to notice a visual difference or a performance difference. I run these tires on my 88 GL.
