They are Bridgestone's and I paid $50.00 for the set of four, brand new from Firestone. I recommend calling around to local tire shops as many have discontinued brands they sell to clear them out as not many people want 13" tires these days. </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am against changing to 14" or larger as the Corvair
was designed to have a 13" tire for a reason. Now many will disagree with me, and that's fine, but the handling and steering may be adversely affected by changing wheel size. The offset is critical to proper suspension geometry and when you start playing around with wheels, you can have a car that handles odd. I have driver many Corvairs with 14" wheels......that's why mine runs 13"s. Just my two cents.........and good luck tire hunting! </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Steve </FONT></DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 2px solid; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial">----- Original Message ----- </DIV> <DIV style="BACKGROUND: #e4e4e4; FONT: 10pt arial; font-color: black"><B>From:</B> <A title=fjones08@comcast.net href="mailto:fjones08@comcast.net">Fred</A> </DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt
