I use 175-70R13 Pirelli's and they work fine. On your 205's look on the
tires (tyres, if you will) for evidence of rubbing. Also check the
points where they are likely to rub. The binding might not be rubbing
but the "snowplow effect" of the very tight radius of the Spitfire front
end. At lock the front tires are so close to perpendicular with the
frame that it wants to "push"
Regards,
Joe
