<VV> New 13" tires available

[Bruce Schug]

Nice tires, but you must realize that they are smaller in diameter  
than any Corvair tires were. 6.50-13's were very close to 185/80-13's  
in diameter. Obviously, 7.00-13's were even larger.

I realize that some people size Corvair tires according to  
"replacement" charts and that these may show up on one of those charts  
as "replacement" tires for a Corvair. Obviously, they will work, but I  
think it's important to understand that they are smaller. Beyond that,  
to each his own - ya pays yer money and ya takes yer choice.
