I got this from the Yokohama Web site.
We at Yokohama would like to apologize for the delay in responding to
your e-mail inquiry. In an effort to improve our Webster,
technical problems have created a backlog in our mailing system. The
widest tire recommended for a 5? rim width is the 185/60VR13.
Thank you for your interest in our products,
Yokohama Tire Corporation

Subject: locking tires, and tires
Two questions for the wisemen out there;
1. My front right tire is the first to lock under hard braking.
Sometimes I
think it is even locking a bit too soon. What is
the
cause of this, and how can it be remedied?
(if it matters, one year ago I: Rebuilt calipers, new pads, new flex
lines)
2. I am sure this has been discussed.....sorry. I think it is about
time to
replace my Teflon tires (very durable, and just as slippery). Is there
any
recomended brand /size? I figure since spits are light, a softer
compound
would suit them better, correct? In any case, they will be on a
Mid-Atlantic
area, daily driven, occasionally autocrossed, '78 Spitfire. Which,
of-course,
has the stock wheels on it.
TIA,
Avi&Cheech the '78mid-Atlantic area, daily driven, occasionally
autocrossed,Spitfire.
With stock wheels, of-course.
