I just mounted the 175-70-13's after much analysis of tyres. I am very
satisfied with them. No conflict with body parts, rubbing, scraping, etc.
I bought the Pirrelli 400. It seemed to have the best rating for
performance street tyre. They look much wider than the 155's they replaced,
but not inappropriate. I have a Mark III, I assume you would have no
problems either. You might consider the 185-70's (?)
