- Since you are running the 'stock wheels'. 175's might be a little wide for the narrow stock rim, and might not look right. I just went though this with a friend of mine who is mounting new tires to

- Hi Charles.. I went through this just last week, and ended up with a set of 155/80/13s for my '77. I was concerned about stories of sizes over 165 rubbing (I don't know 'bout that - looks like I coul

- Like Terry, I just went through this as well and ended up with the 155s on Minator wheels. Major reason - PRICE. Sears was offering 60,000 mile Michelins with an advertised price of $27.99 for the 15

- 175/70 is at the absolute limit for standard wire wheels and through a bend sequence you get a lot of tyre wobbling/ jelly tyres. It is interesting fitting them with square arches (like deflate the t

- I have always run 165/70's on my RB Midget. Currently I have Continentals. I chose them because they had the most "European" design in a 13". I would not do it again. These tires suck. The have no gr
