<VV> Tires Update

[Eric S. Eberhard]

I have 205/70 on my EM Spyder and it is a great size.  They are 
Firestones.  They don't make them anymore.  California Corvair Parts 
(Jeff) told me they could get 205/70 from some supplier that makes 
small runs (almost custom tires).  You could check with him ...
