does anyone know the appropriate tire sizes for the same diameter as the
155 70-13 ?
I'm going to be getting tires for my new dayton chrome wires, and would
like to get the
 widest tire that would fit the rims AND the car ( square arch 71 midget
)
Also, I not much of a purist, but I'd like some feedback...
Whitewalls , blackwalls, or raised white letters for chrome wires ?
wadda you folks think ?
