I just bought a set of 155/80RT13s from The Tire Rack. They are Kumho tires and quite cheap. I hope they aren't made of discarded condums... ;-) Cheers!! Jim - reassembling MIdget in Dodge City

Say what??? Why would you put that skinny durn tire on a Spridget?? You can actually get a 175 on a std rim, but they will wear in the certain faster. I better bet is to use the lowest profile 165 yo

165/70 is a smaller diameter than 155/80. I don't think most of us want to lower the gearing any. 175's are a little too skinny for 4" rims. Although some people do it, it's not recommended. Choices

The choices for stock 4" rims seem to be either the Kumho 155/80, or the Yokohama 165/70. I wonder if The Wheelsmith could put 5" rims on my stock centers. BZ
