<p class="MsoNormal">I have a ‘73 Lotus Europa John Player Special. The car only weighs about 1500 pounds.
<br>
<br>
The tires that came on the car are:<br>
<br>
175/70-R13 Front<br>
185/70-R13 Rear<br>
<br>
Because of the weight, the specified air pressure is only 20 pounds. <br>
<br>
The rims are 5.5” wide<br>
<br>
It is difficult to find street legal performance tires for 13” wheels. <br>
<br>
Some manufacturers sell the 175’s & some sell the 185’s but few sell both, & those that do, may only sell both using different model tires. I hate to mix 2 different tire models on the same car.
<br>
<br>
If I go with a 205/60-R13, I get basically the same diameter/circumference as both the 175 & 185 tires, & there are a number of track performance tires, & even the old BF Goodrich Radial T/As available. The 205’s would look great!<br>
<br>
From some old on line posts, it sounds like the 205/60’s will work fine on the rear, with some very slight interference on the front at full turn lock. That would be easy to deal with.
<br>
<br>
Some charts I have seen say that a 5.5” wide rim will take up to a 205, but some say only up to 195 widths are acceptable.
<br>
<br>
Your thoughts?<o:p></o:p></p>
