The 175's will fit great. The 185 will only work on the rear. On the front
you will hit the firewall and lip on the fender well. As far as brands go I
just pick the one with the coolest tread pattern;-).
I have a set of Interceptors that are Dunlop copies (made by Dunlop) that
I like and were cheap at Discount tire. I also have a set of Goodyear GTII's
from NTW that I like just as well.
Go get some rubber!

It is time for new rubber on the 79 Spit.
I am looking at a few different ones.
Potenza re900
Michelin X Metric
Firestone Firehawk FTX
Others????
I am thinking of a few different sizes...
175/70/13
185/70/13
Are there any thoughts as to size?
For now I will be running stock rims (4.5").
