Steve,
I can't add much as too choice of tire since when I put tires on a few
years ago I went with cheap 155/80r 13 Kumho Solus KR21's so I could get my
Midget on the road. They ride OK, but nothing performance wise.
I did want to forward you this link for getting a visual idea of the
different tire sizes compared to the stock tires. It will give you an idea
of the trade offs when going with a different size.

Subject: [Spridgets] round and round on tires (g)
Another post about tires - sorry.
I am in the market for tires for my '78 with Minilite rims. I am hoping
to stay away from 175's, to avoid any risk of rubbing.
I see that tirerack has Sumitomo HTR T4s for cheap (165/70r13), though I
think this may be the tire some folks are not impressed with...
Universal tire has two 145/70r13 tires, which I believe was the OEM size.
Any advantage/disadvantage to going with one of these?
Tirebuyer.com has Bridgestone Potenza 165/65r13 for $78 - never heard of
that one, or if the "65" bit is OK.
Any opinions on any of these is appreciated.
Thanks!
Steve
