I am looking for tires for my 1992 245 and choices are shrinking here. OEM size is 185R14, pretty much gone. I am running 195/75/14 and they are pretty true to speedometer. They are Kumho Solus, like the way they handle but the treadlife is awful - at 30K they are pretty much bald. Not a big fan of BF Goodrich, Firestone, Uniroyal...so this is all I can come up with:

Kumho Solus
Kelly Explorer Plus
Hankook Optima

Hankook is actually what the Volvo dealer recommended, but they admit it hasn't been around for long enough to be rated/reviewed.

Does Yokohama make an all-season tire in that size? I live in the south and while we have freezing temps in the winter, we have no snow and winters are short so it makes no sense to have two sets of tires.

Any suggestions are much appreciated.
