Falken. http://www.vulcantire.com/falken.htm
I've been running a set of Falkens (175x60x13) for a few years and they are
ok. Not as sticky as the Yoko's but not bad. Just picked up a set of almost
new (750 miles) Yoko A032R's this weekend for use on a set of Western
"minilites".
185x60x13 will fit on a Bugeye but you may need a Panhard Rod on the rear
and spacers on the front. It varies from car to car. 175x60x13 fit with no
problems. I run 175x60x13's without a Panhard Rod and don't have any rubbing
under hard cornering or at full lock.
