Sounds like a good idea. Coker provides a conversion chart but I'm not sure
it's exactly right. They say a 165R13 is the conversion from the 6.00-13
bias ply size. I'll check around to see if someone can get me a more
accurate measure.

Easy. Don't drive on 'em ; )
Actually I think the tires on it are the first set of replacements but the
spare which has a slightly wider whitewall than the others is the same tire.
I suspect that one is original. It's in the best condition so I'll see if it
can be measured.
