Hi Guys,
For road use I have always used 185x70x13 as I have always wanted as much rubber on the road as possible at any one given time!
These are becoming increasingly hard to find as no one uses this size on a modern car.
With the modern rubber compounds 165x80x13 should be comparable but you will probably get people on here recommending 185x60 or even 50/55.
Probably safest bet readily available is 175x60 or 70 if you can find them. Go for the best you can afford with a branded make, as something from Romania just does`nt look right!
Race tyres are something else, I would let Louis answer that when he reads your post as he has had the experience but, it will probably be along the lines of Colway remoulds!!

If anyone needs a set of 4 nearly new Good Year Eagle 175/70/13 let me know as I have a spare set in the garage for sale at a modest price as they are surplus to requirements.

Thanks Keith Just the job ?
I have put steels back on my Mk1 so have now got a very good set of alloys I dont need?
They look like Minilite and have GBalloy stamped on them with new 185/60 tyres 13" rims. Also have the extended studs and bigger bolts for them.
Any interest PM me
I am sticking to steels on my cars, cant even be bothered with hubcaps?
