Seems like a FAQ lately, but my tires have apparently had the biscuit. Any tire recommendations for disc wheel Midgets? My current tires are the stock 145s. I am happy with that, but they are hard to

Hi Thomas Pokrefke!!! Well, it all depends on how you drive. Every tyre develops a slip angle relative to control input, some more than others. Slip angle(s) have a MAJOR impact on the "feel" of the

There must be different grades. The Roadmaster tires I am thinking of are about the cheapest tires you can get anywhere. I had Roadmasters on my Corolla SR-5 for a short while. I suppose they would

Oh, please. Michelin can produce crappy tires just like anyone else. That said, I've put a lot of miles on 155SR12 Roadmasters on a Civic. They gripped poorly, but had decent wet traction and gave aw

My '72 Midget has 155/80R13 Tires on the stock steel wheels. I just visited the Yokohama web site and they recommend 175/70R13 tires. Any thoughts on this? What are you all using (brands and size)? -

Hi Aron, My 71 (round arch) has a set of 6' Chevy Vega GT wheels and I'm running Bridgestone 185x60x13 RE71 R series tires. Very grippy with an aggressive tread pattern. They look and perform great.

My tire size calculator shows that these would have a width of 7.28", stock is 6.1", and the 175/70's would have a width of 6.89". So if yours fit, than the 175's should have no problem. I really lik

The only time I get any tire rub is in a hard turn with a big bump. And then it's only a slight rub. Not enough to worry about. (I've checked). The studs have been changed out to 7/16" one front and
