<VV> Tire options

[Frank DuVal]

So who has 185/70s? Last year I couldn't find these either. Just 175/80s.

I have 175/70s on a 64 Spyder and the ground clearance is not enough for 
my gravel driveway! Of course I suspect the springs are also shot. The 
car appears to sit 3" shorter than the 64 sedan with 175/80s on it. So 
it is not all in the tires.
