Leather 240 seats have buttons sewn on.
Vinyl does not.
Cloth is very comfortable and as I wrote recently, you'll probably like it if you try it. If you put two cloth seats of the correct color in a vinyl car it will prolly look OK. The cloth holds up far better than the vinyl, 240s of matching age and similar mileage will usually prove this. case in point, my car is at 280K with cloth seats, which are in better condition than our wifemobile at about 220K with vinyl.
BTW, the cloth seats have a liquid-proof backing, so any spills are pretty well isolated from the foam. No problems there. And, you can machine-wash the upholstery if you remove it to work on the seats.
Tires:
For a wagon, 195-75-14 is ideal. Or 205-70-14 if you must have the 205 tread. The 205-70's are a bit wide for the 5.5" rim flange width. 195-70-14 is just barely OK; load capacity is reduced from stock spec and speedo will lie, but they should handle the weight of car + driver OK.
