The Xtra Trac II? That's what I have on the Wagon. I got mine from the junkyard. 185/65-14 front and 175/70-14 rear. I've got them pumped up to 60 PSI and they wear evenly and have plenty of grip at that pressure. They aren't labeled as LRR tires, but my MPG is OK! Light snow isn't a problem for these tires, I can put my Blizzaks on later and take them off earlier. And I recently had a lot of fun on some dirt roads with them.
