Have been running 195/70R14 on both of our 240s for ever...

I need tires and started looking around only to find that Michelin doesn't list anything and Costco offers nothing in that size either.

I live in the PNW and the other main alternate sources are Les Schwab (which is local for us) and Discount Tire. The former offers 3 options for basic tires and all are unknown and difficult to analyze. The main difference seems to be warranty. The latter has many more options but almost all are from makers who's names are a mystery to me. I do see one Toyo and 1 Falken that are at least names I kind of recognize.

I did not realize this was the situation. Any suggestions on where to go, what to get? These cars are all long in the tooth and no idea how long they (or we) might last. So not really sure how much I should try to discriminate.

Thanks
