I have decided to get the Hankook RA08's from Bus Depot. They have them on sale for $75 each and $8 each to ship. FFrom what I have found this is a really good tire and a really good price. Total shipped to my door id $330.

Yep, good tire.

I used those until I upgraded to 15's. Nice ride, good wear.

I put a set of these on my 89 Carat and the difference was night and day when compared to the tires the PO put on the van. I would definitely say that this is a good decision for a stock replacement tire.

Are you going with 185's or 195's?

So I put on the 185R14 Hankook tires and I love them. The grip really well and they handle great. Very happy with this. Thanks for the suggestions everybody Smile
