Ohan -
Put a set of Goodyear Integrity 185/70R13 on my Series V with factory disk
wheels a few years ago and am happy with them.
Look is a little a little more "beefy" without looking out of place. In
fact, feel the look is quite good as period correct sizes look skinny
compared to the look of contemporary cars. Do like having the extra
footprint on the road for safety as am a firm believer that in the case of
the Alpine, the weak link in the steering/braking capabilities of the car is
the tires.
Cheers,
Al Figler
