I have an original sales brochure for the 1986 4kq, and it lists the
175-70-14 as an optional tire. Like yourself, I questioned the value such a
choice would have, and discovered that it was better to have the narrower
tire for tough winter conditions.  Never even considered it after that, and
stayed with the 195-60-14's for years.
