if you  can put up with reduced ground clearance and
your speedometer being off,  175/70-13 tires are AWESOME!!
they are as common as opinions and buttons.  both my spyders
have that tire size now, and it makes an enormous  difference 
in handling- so much that i would never consider going  back
to a stock corvair tire size.

Actually - If don't mind a slightly shorter tire, the 185/70-13 is a bit  
bigger than the 175/70-13 and may have higher load capacity as well. It  fits 
fine on a 5.5" wide wheel and are still easily available. The Clarks tire  seems 
like a good fit and close to the right height. Shipping of tires is not  
inexpensive, though. Keep it in mind. If you will actually be driving on them,  get 
good tires. Life is too short as is.  - Seth (Currently trying to float  a
