FWIW TireRack has 165/80
http://tinyurl.com/mn5ka4c
=20
Bit pricey, but they also list 185/70 that should fit and work fine, in =
a "high performance summer" tire. Effective diameter should be very =
close to original.
http://tinyurl.com/h8r8s9q
=20
If that's too high, they have lots of lower performance tires in 195/65 =
that will most likely fit OK unless your body is significantly tweaked. =
(The car's body I mean.)
http://tinyurl.com/zx8hn7z
=20
195/60 should be fine too, but a bit more speedo error. (About 5%, =
which is only 3 mph @ 60 mph.)
=20
FWIW I've dealt with TireRack many times, and always been happy with =
them. You do have to watch out for S&H charges plus mounting and =
balancing. The charges are not unreasonable, they just make the overall =
price higher than what you see on the web.
=20
Best IMO to have the tires shipped directly to a local installer.
=20
PS, I assume this is obvious, but JIC: Don't forget that these tires =
aren't going to fit in the spare tire well! I finally bought a "compact =
spare" tire from a junkyard that fits with room to spare (on a TR3 rim); =
but if I do have a flat, it has to ride home behind the seats.
