Yes! Another 145 user! Me too. Me too. And I
get the Michelins cheap from Sears.

I agree. I installed Roadhandler 145's on my 69 Midget about 10 years ago.
I am now working on a 59 A40 Farina and a 68 Midget and would go with the
identical tires again but they don't seem to be available, not around here
at least.
