Bill,

There are new 14" sets of real Panasport available for the Tiger, with
6" front and 7" rear widths, and proper offsets for the Tiger.  They
will take high performance tires that are available in the 195/60 x 14
size, which gives you a 23.32 rolling diameter (891 revs/milkes).  Same
as a 185/70x13, but larger than the original stock.  Plenty of
clearance.  For the front you may want the 175/65 x 14, with a slightly
smaller diameter of 23.09 inches (900 revs/mile), but with  smaller
width rubber on the ground.  This could make steering easier.  If your
"plenty strong, like bull" the 195/60 will work.

These tires are available all the way from street tread through ultra
high speed.  I think an "H" rating is pretty good choice, and these
tires are available for $50 to $80 (dealer dependent) in both Yoko AVID
(T rating) and Pirelli P6000 Veloce H rating, as well as many more.

The 15 inch wheels require a very low profile, in the 50's, to fit and
they will be smaller in diameter.  Not sure you'd like the look now
prevalent in small foreign imports with BIG exhaust tips.
