My 300TD originally had 195/70X14 but were replaced with 205/70 on the
recommendation of the installer.

My W123 300D is currently wearing 195-70R14 Uniroyal Tiger Paw tires,
the W116 300SD (with what appears to be the same Bundt style wheels) has
205-70R14 General Altimax RT. I would not swear that either one is
officially the "best" size. The W116 has the tires that were on it when

I don’t have a heavy foot. I thought it was just because the bed was empty.
But, after reading all the reviews of people complaining about the same thing

better when it was loaded. But, it didn’t spin on slightly wet

I just looked at Tire Rack. Hankook Kinergy ST and General Altimax
RT43 in both 175r70-14 and 185R70.
Weren't the originals something like 175R80 or R83?
I did a car search at Tire Rack, for 1984 300D they told me 195/70,
for 1979 240D they told me 'we don't sell that'. A lot more

For truck tires I can't say enough good about General Grabbers. I just got our
second set, these are the A/TX, previous were AT2. Both carry the mountain
(snow rated) symbol and are excellent offroad and on.
The A/TX are much quieter than the AT2 although they'd be loud compared to a
car tire.
I think it's mostly that there's no weight (relatively speaking) over
the rear wheels. Also the way pickup trucks are geared. Good for
pulling, not so good for starting on a slippery surface.
In my Frontier I can control it by slipping the clutch (which I don't

to have a very
sudden throttle onset, which I'm inclined to believe is intended to trick the
buyer into thinking
