Mike,
I am running 20 lbs all around in my 1300 lbs(laden weight) Lotus 7 in the
tire size mentioned (175/70 x 13)- I have factory, Dunlop made, 5.5 x 13
alloy wheels. The factory recommendation was 18 front, 22 rear for "normal"
driving.
For my 1500+ lbs (unladen weight) race Bugeye, I run 22 front and 24 rear in
my DOT legal, Goodyear 185/60 x 13, radial tires. I have Revolution 5.5 x 13
alloy wheels.
All the above pressures are when the tires are cold.
I think you would be safe starting anywhere from 22 to 25 lbs pressure (cold
tires) in your Bugeye, then adjust to suit your driving conditions/style.
Original tires recommended pressure were in the 22 to 24 pressure range for
the 145 tires, I think... too lazy to check my manuals right now!

O.K., say I get the Yokohama Avid T4 tires in 175/70R-13 to put on the
13X5 Minators. What tire pressure are you guys running in this size?
