Hi Alfred,

There's a Michelin Agilis M+S (Mud & Snow) available in 185R14; I am
running them on my bus. A good tire, but it's not cheap. IIRC Frank
Condelli bought them at Costco for under $600/set.

Continental also has a winter tire in the 185R14 size; I think it's
the vanco winter.

Happy Trails,
