The tire rack sells Y356. 185R14C was $48/tire + $5 shipping last I looked.
(I think these big guys have special deals with UPS). They also
have 195/75 and load range D's. If you can put together a list purchase
under that I would be interested.

Even better, if you can get a good deal on the Y371 (similar light
truck tire, but with an all weather thread) I'm sure many listees
would be interested.
