[Mgs] tires

[Max Heim]

After considering the alternatives (crappy, old-technology, hard-to-find
tires in the original size, or too-wide, too-low modern tires), I arrived at
the same conclusion. I went with a Sumitomo HTR200, a high-performance
summer tire, which I have to say is by far the grippiest tire I have ever
had on the car. 185 is definitely too wide for 4.5" wire wheels.
