I've put the 165/70 Michelin's on my '69 Sprite and I love them!!! Much
better feel and handling than the 155/80s on there before. The price is a
bit steep ($70 per tire), but well worth it. The road noise was much lower
with them, or maybe it was the Datsun 5-speed that was quieter...<grin>.
All in all, very happy with the Michelins.

Subject: Okay, now I have a clue... Tire question
Hi,
After reading the archives, I have deduced that 165/70 R 13 sized tires
should be no problem on my stock rims on my 1975 square arched Midget. If
I'm wrong, someone please let me know.
I'm replacing my tires, because the front is badly aligned, and I've ruined
the two front tires in a very short amount of time.
Would a Michelin 165/70 R13 tire give noticeably better handling
characteristics than the cheaper BF Goodrich 155/80 R13 tires I have on
there now? If not, then I'll just replace the two front tires with the same
BF Goodrich and save myself $100 or so.
Last, It's a white car, and looks good with whitewall tires. That's not so
wrong, is it?
Thanks a whole lot,
John Gottstein
