Uniroyals
I need to get replacements for my front tires, but since I use whitewalls my search has gotten a bit harder. Right now I'm looking at getting some Uniroyal Tiger Paw AWP II's. Has anybody here used those? Any opinions?
(The size I use on my car is 185/75R14)

I've used them. Different size but same tire. IMO
Hard and loud Decent tread life but not all that durable. I multiple tires suffered some kind of damage and ha to be replaced with tread still remaining. Affordable and in stock at my tire place. I wont get them again I got michelins now

Tire rack rep on Peach Parts
There's a rep from Tire Rack that answers questions in this section of the Pelican website. Ask him for his recommendations. I'd also go with Michelins if they have a whitewall tire. You won't be disappointed.

I have Kumho Solus KR21. Blackwall only, but grippy on dry and wet pavement, decent in snow, passable on ice, and seem to be headed for a longer life than the Sumitimos I had before. Also quite reasonable on price.

I would buy 4 new Michelin tires and be done with it. Michelin tires are what I use exclusively on our MB vehicles.
