Subject: Re: <VV> Tires for a 63 Spyder

I just bought 185/80/13  Cooper Trendsetter SE radials for my wife's '64 
convertible but they have a 1/2" whitewall.  Actually, they look the right size & 
the thin whitewall looks right too.  I don't know the width of whitewalls sold 
in 1963.  I'm having a little shake problem and found that one of them took 
over 3 ozs. of weights to balance it.  I may have a little "run-out" in one of 
the rims but when I worked for B.F. Goodrich & Firestone, we were taught not 
to personally buy any tire which took over 3 ozs. to balance it.  Otherwise 
they ride and handle well.  I think I paid about $72 each.
