Frank,

I am running Falken 185/60x13 on my Bugeye. IMO  they look good (non 
stock) & racy for street tires. Slightly shorter diameter than stock, 
but rolling radius very close to original. Needed spacer on rear hubs. 
Tires are rated to 130 mph - I don't I will exceed that in the Bugeye, 
lol. They are directional so that is a issue with the spare (50/50 
chance of being right one).

I searched Tire Rack then did a Google search for different brand I 
liked and found a local discount place that I could pick up from ... no 
shipping cost. Tire's cost about $39 each, including tax.

My 0.02.
