My new Bugeye!

Hello,

I'm brand new to the Spridget list and this is my first posting.
I just went and bought a 61 bugeye last week and after the maiden voyage, I
had 2 questions:

1)  Does first gear rattle on all of them?
2)  I'm going to replace the tires.  Will the 155X13 work O.K. (without
hitting anything in the wheel wells in a bounce or a turn)

Thanks for any advice you may have!
