<VV> Tire sizes

[Matt Nall]

For your 62     185/80/13's which are available everywhere [ western US at 
least] are the "normal" replacement.....as well as for the 66.

Many with the LM's  are now changing to 16-17"  wheels which allow a better 
selection of tires [  performance wise ]  and the tire sidewall heights are 
still enough to not look out of place...   14 / 15"  are getting to be like 
13" tires... very little selection of sizes...

Whitewalls are getting even rarer...

You do NOT want Bias Ply tires for daily driving.....not just my opinion!
