[Spridgets] Tires for a '78 Midget?

[Chris King]

Oh, and my Sumitomos are in a 175 70R13.
 
The 165's you have are still available in the UK (I checked at
blackcircles.co.uk), but it's probably a spendy option for us in the
States.

Steve, 

The only two sizes readily available in the US are 155 80R13 and 175 
70R13. The 175s should fit without rubbing. IIRC, you're running a 
minilite style wheel, right? I run the Sumitomo HTR200 (summer tire) and
I think they're a good tire.

I know this has pobably discussed at length more than once, but I need 
to ask: Can anyone recommend tires for a '78 Midget? I currently have 
165 70R13 tires ("Metric Durasteel"). They are OK but probably 10 years 
old. Only one local tire shop can get anything, and that's their "house 
brand", a "Runway Enduro" which is a $34.95 special. 

Any ideas of what to get and how and where to get them are appreciated.
