I got 5 different secondhand 195/70R14s on my L wagon..(2yr apprentice wages
My advice to anyone wanting more grip for onroad use is to get stiffer springs all round and convert to RWD.. Completely changes the balance of the car around corners.
Ps: I needed the front cv shafts for my other suby that is in progress. I miss 4wding..with all four wheels that is.
