Have you driven on bias ply tires lately?
It's a wonder we are all still here! I had the opportunity to drive an
old chevy a few weeks ago and it still had bias ply tires.
What a mess!!!
How soon we forget how far tires have come in recent decades.

Back to the thread, 145/80 13s are stock Spridget tires
155/80s fit fine as do 165/70s (my preference)
Bias plys should be reserved for trailer queens.
