I'm going to be running a vintage '58 Sprite this year on Hoosier A70-13
Street TD's and 5" rims. However, for rain use I'd like to run a set of
shaved street radials on 4-1/2" Rostyle rims.

Figuring that I'm dropping a 1/2" in rim width with the Rostyles, what
metric-sized equivalent should I be looking for: P ? 70R13? After owning
(street) Vettes for 26 years, this LBC is showing me I'm on a whole new
playing field! A guy at work told me his '73 Harley Sportster has 13 cu.
in. on my 948... oh ,boy...

Thanks, all.
