The general consensus seems to be that 155/80-13 is just the wrong tire 
for a Midget.  145/80 was stock; 165/70 will fit and allegedly behave 
nicely; I run 185/60-13 Yokohama A509's on stock Rostyles, and although 
this setup is far from optimal, it works very nicely.

Oh, and IMHO, the last good tire that Michelin made was the ZX.  
Everything since (that I know of) has been overpriced garbage.  Almost 
eny other name-brand offers better value.
