I am running the Sumi HTR200 175 70 13's on my Bugeye (Minitor Wheels) and
per BZ's suggestion have been increasing the pressure to eliminate the
sidewall flex. I am getting close to just right at 35 front and 30 rear. I
did have an occasion to make a rather abrupt lane change the other day when
the car in front of me decided to cram on the brakes and make a right turn,
no warning! The rear got a little out of shape but recovered quickly. I
think a few more miles on them and they will be good. They are sticky but
at the limit have a tendency to let the rear go quietly without warning.
Probably just because the Bugeye is so light.

> What's most narrow rim rec. for "70" series
Manufacturer says 4.5" to 6".
I don't think they'll rub, but handling might suffer.
HTR 200's have very flexible sidewalls and putting them on skinny rims makes
them swishy. I have 4.5" rims on my CRX, and I have to run 40psi to firm
them up. HTR 200's are rated for 51psi,BTW.
