What is the appropriate tire size for my 86 Syncro? Should it be 185/80 R14, 205/70 R14, or ? I currently have 185/70 R14 Michelin XZX, which I know are too small. In addition, my present tires are not 6 ply, which I will rectify with the impending purchase. My local tire guru recommends the Michelin (XC, I think) 6 ply, but I recall a list discussion recommending Yokahama 356LT. Almost all of my driving will be on pavement, so I do not require a very aggresive tread. Anyone have a helpful comment?
