Carlos,
About the only tires available in 185/70R15 are Vredestein Sprint Steel. They
come in S- and
H-rated. I have the S-rated and I've been happy with them for 20K miles or so.
I had Yokohama
A321s before--which were terriffic--but they haven't been produced for several
years.
Personally, I think the 185s might be too fat for a 5.5 inch rim, from both an
appearance and
handling perspective; i.e. the sidewalls appear to bulge a bit too much (IMO).
I run 72-spoke, 6-in Daytons with the 185s.
