I am calculating the difference between 155 13R and 155/80 13R and it
seems for me quiet big. Is it the right method?
155 13R: Diameter=2x155mm+13"=640.2mm
155/80 13R Diameter=2x124mm+13"=578.2mm
difference on diameter=62.2mm?????
it must be wrong I think

Good Year does have a 155/80 13R tire.
I put them on my GT6 and was pleased.
Well they will do me till I can afford some low profiles.
