175/70 is at the absolute limit for standard wire wheels and through a bend 
sequence you get a lot of tyre wobbling/ jelly tyres.  It is interesting 
fitting them with square arches (like deflate the tyre fit wheel/tyre to car 
- inflate.
I suggest having a bit of a re-think - in any case why do you need all that 
width of tyre - it won't handle any better till you have upgraded the 
suspension ('cept in the wet).

<< Hi All! I am finally getting down to the tires on my Midget....which is
 good because that means I will be driving it soon. I have started to
 look around and will probably get them from Tire Rack. The part I need
 help with is the size. It has stock wire wheels and stock suspension. I
 am not trying to go crazy with this- I just want a good all around tire.
 The one that are on the car are 145/13's. I am guessing 175/ 60 or 70/
 13's?       Thanks!
