I had 175/70 Michelins on 13/5 mags on the 76. I ran into a small
problem. The tires rub the front wing in a corner with a dip (compressing
the spring). This I fixed by rolling the lip on the inner wheel well. The
rear was fine.
IMHO If you can afford the Michies get them - they are a far better tire.
