Well I ended up with some Uniroyal Tigerpaws. 185/75/14. First day, I hated them, felt like driving through mud. But then I added some air pressure and ran them at 50psi and adjusted the Scangauge using a gps speedometer. Now I like what I see on the scangauge but I need a coupla fillups to properly calibrate before passing judgement.

There is no way the bigger tires at 205/75/14 would have fit on my car, the wheel wells are just not big enough. The 185/75/14 s are pretty much filling the wheel wells. I have adjusted the speed calibration on my Scangauge +9%. I don't know if I ever properly set it for my old wheels so can't say how the current circumference compares to the old one.

I like the tires now. We still could get a blizzard or three this season and I feel like I have some tread to plow me through the mud when necessary. 50 psi and I am a fan of Tigerpaws.
