<VV> Tire sizes

[JVHRoberts at aol.com]

Heck, you can go to 18 or even some 19 inch sizes and still have the right  
rolling diameter for a Corvair! Although there's something almost sick about  
having a car with +6 tire conversions... <G>
 
Anyhow, I needed to replace tires on my Fiero GT, and 15 inch sizes in  
anything that could be considered ultra high performance is difficult to  
impossible...

For your  62     185/80/13's which are available everywhere [ western US  at 
least] are the "normal" replacement.....as well as for the  66.

Many with the LM's  are now changing to 16-17"  wheels  which allow a better 
selection of tires [  performance wise ]   and the tire sidewall heights are 
still enough to not look out of  place...   14 / 15"  are getting to be like 
13" tires...  very little selection of sizes...

Whitewalls are getting even  rarer...

You do NOT want Bias Ply tires for daily driving.....not just  my opinion!
