Hi,
   After reading the archives, I have deduced that 165/70 R 13 sized tires
should be no problem on my stock rims on my 1975 square arched Midget.  If
I'm wrong, someone please let me know.

I'm replacing my tires, because the front is badly aligned, and I've ruined
the two front tires in a very short amount of time.

Would a Michelin 165/70 R13 tire give noticeably better handling
characteristics than the cheaper BF Goodrich 155/80 R13 tires I have on
there now? If not, then I'll just replace the two front tires with the same
BF Goodrich and save myself $100 or so.

Last, It's a white car, and looks good with whitewall tires.  That's not so
wrong, is it?

Thanks a whole lot,

John Gottstein
