If 175/80/13 (which have tire height of 24.65) are close to the original
size HOW can you go with a 205/60/13 which has a tire height of 22.69.
Wouldn't that raise the RPMs considerably being a full 2 inches
different?
Reading and learning here................keep up the good words.

Bob,
You realize, of course, that 175/80-13's are smaller than original
6.50-13's anyway. 185/80-13's are very close to original 6.50-13's in
diameter. Just use 185's and don't feel bad about not being able to get
175's. If you want something shorter and wider try to find some
205/60-13's.
