wagonwheels, was: <VV> Tired of tires?

[J R Read_HML]

Well, "IceMobile" has 14" wheels.  Cannot find 13" snow tires - at least not
at the time the car was being "put together" for ice racing.  Unfortunately,
the 14s put us in a class with a certain Mazda Miata that is really hard to
beat.  With the 13s, we'd not be in the same class.  Oh, well!  Does anyone
know if Blizzak makes a 13" snow?  I've not checked on this in about 5
years.
