Jim

                The real question should be =E2=80=93 does the 185-70-13 =
tire allow the trunk platform to close properly?

I believe it should but I don=E2=80=99t know for sure.

- The Blockley Tyre Company Technical Articles =
<https://www.blockleytyre.com/technical/tyre-size-equivalents>=20

=20

This company indicates these tires sizes as equivalent to the original =
tire.

590x13                  185/70R13           165/80R13

=20

I believe some recommend a thinner tire for the trunk so the platform =
closes properly and does not rub on the tire.

Hello,

=20

In the effort to finish off my trunk, I had an original rim fixed, =
blasted and correctly painted; black all over and  the cream on the =
outside. Fortunately I had the original spare to guide the paint shop =
for color and all.

=20

But...in trying to buy a spare tire, I find Vredestine no longer makes =
most 13" sizes like the 185-70-13 I put on my car. They do have a =
175-80-13 available.

=20

Question is:  on an original Sunbeam steel rim, will this size tire fit =
on the trunk floor without interfering with the

                      tool fixing clips and jack? In general, will it =
work ?
