Steve,

The only two sizes readily available in the US are 155 80R13 and 175
70R13. The 175s should fit without rubbing. IIRC, you're running a
minilite style wheel, right? I run the Sumitomo HTR200 (summer tire) and
I think they're a good tire.

I know this has pobably discussed at length more than once, but I need
to ask: Can anyone recommend tires for a '78 Midget? I currently have
165 70R13 tires ("Metric Durasteel"). They are OK but probably 10 years
old. Only one local tire shop can get anything, and that's their "house
brand", a "Runway Enduro" which is a $34.95 special. 

Any ideas of what to get and how and where to get them are appreciated.
