I have Cosmic MkII wheels, 13x5 I believe, and the tires are 
Bridgestone Potenza, 175/70.  They look big and purposeful.  They 
ride pretty well, and at the rate I'm wearing the tread away they 
will be bald by, oh, maybe 2035A.D.  Maybe later.  They are probably 
overkill.  They do look purposeful though.

Last year I put new tires on the Spitfire.  Its wheels are the 
ubiquitous Minator (however it is spelt, and I think made by K&N), 
13x5.  I decided on 155/80 Spectrum.  There aren't many options in 
those sizes.  The tires feel pretty nice, track well, feel lighter 
than the big guys on the GT6 and in accordance with the character of 
the lighter, more nimble Spitfire.
