I found some posts in the triumph list archives by Barry Schwartz, saying
the largest possible tire size for a Spit was 205/60/13 (with a little
tweaking).

Well, this week my mechanic is putting a set of 205/60/13's (Yokohama AVS
Intermediate) on my 13x5.5's. I'll let you know how it goes. (And if anyone
has had a real problem with tires this size, please let me know now!)

The diameter of a 205/60/13 is slightly less than a 185/70/13, but of
course the width is the problem area.

I'm also planning on a new adjustable suspension--suggestions, anyone?
