13 in tire size

Karfrik

Hi guys, i may start shopping on tires for my 76 128.I have CD 30's on it on very old n mismatched set of 185-60- 13's.
But while searching ebay have found sellers having 175-60 and even 175-50's if i remember well.Havent sat down to use one of those wheel/tire calculator apps yet in order to find which tire comes close to the original factory rolling diameter for speedo accuracy.
Any thoughts or perhaps first hand experience on this?.....thanks
 
Hi Albert,

What was the original size for the 128? I am sure you know, but there are still a few 185-60-13 tires out in the wild if you decide to stick with that size.
 
A 175/65 is a very good size for these cars. Same height as a a 165/70 but a scoshe wider. The 185/60 is notably shorter.
 
Karl just posted a great comparison on the available tire sizes and how they relate to the OEM tire size... Will try to find it.
I like the 175/60-13 but they are a wee bit small. I do like how they fit and drive in spite of this.
Regards
