BSCC- Tires

[Paul Raia]

Fred,

 

Delta makes a radial tire with a 7/8 inch white wall in a variety of
tire sizes.  What you may want to consider is going to a 14 inch size
that is slightly wider than the stock width.  Several people have gone
that route and claim it improves handling.  I purchased a set of Deltas
in the stock size and I have been very pleased with the ride.

 

This year a cure!

I am a new member and recently purchased a restored 1965 Corsa
convertible.   It came with 175/80R13s  in fair shape...   I want to
upgrade to 185/80R13s for a better fit and less speedometer error...

 

    Anyway...What is everybody doing for tires these days?   The tires I
am finding have only 1/2" whitewalls, and I wanted to have them closer
to the 15/16ths that came originally...   Any information would be
helpful.

 

Thanks!

Fred Jones
