The 240 wagon came with 185R14 tires which by all accounts would have been an 80 or 82 profile tire. The original passenger tire varieties are never seen anymore, but several which seem designed for light truck use are still sold. Have a look at tirerack.com's listings:

It would be nice to have the correct size tire for speedometer calibration, etc. but I wonder if these truck oriented tires would have an overly stiff ride.
