   I'm running a pair of Michelin Agilis 61's (185R14C) that came with the
van in the front and a new pair of Agilis 81's (185R14C) in the rear.  I
bought them from Tire Rack for a very reasonable price.  I love the way the
van sounds on the road, handles on the bumps and corners.  You get what you
pay for.
  When I need to replace the fronts, I'll buy 3 more of the Agilis 81's.
That tire date coding expose' on tv yesterday really drove the point home
about not wanting to buy tires over 6 years old.
  The 61's are no longer available, so the 81's are the next closest match.
They have a 'D' rating, so I put them in the rear.  These tires do NOT ride
harshly, in fact there's there's no noticeable difference than if they were
C's.  I HIGHLY recommend them.  They look nice, ride quietly and are also a
selling point, if so inclined.

my 2 cents,

Mike B.
