Like Tim, I too am using the Continental Vanco tires on my Rampside, 
and I like them a lot!  Stock-appearing, very close to stock size, 
plenty of load capacity, good handling.  I selected the 185R14 
because it was, in my opinion, a better fit for the stock wheels, but 
Tim has the 195R14 and has a more accurate closer 
speedometer/odometer that do I.
