- Hello Frank, lately, it seems, finding tires for spirited driving in 13" diamter is HARD... about the only cars still using them instead of the rubber bands on spokes are economy cars, so most of wha

- I run them on my CRX, and I'm happy with them. I'm very picky about tires, and you're absolutely right about most of them being too hard. Those high mileage tires are really dangerous on a light car

- Frank, those are the tires on My Midget as well, and those are the ones you have on the '67. Best bet from what's available. They'll probably also go on my Cosworth (in 205/60/13 size) when it needs

- 175/70 T/A's or even their "softer" M/S Tourer. The T/A handles better, the Tourer rides more quietly. But there are a bunch of good sneakers out there. Cap'n. Bob '60 :{) ___________________________
