Can anyone recommend a tire brand, model and source for the OEM 165/70 13 tires? I know this board loves bigger tires. Personally, I'm interested in stock. Thank you.
I bought the Hurcules Raptis tr-1 165/70r13, they have been great so far. There's quite a few dealers but I bought from performance plus tires in California, free shipping.
Hmm, well these are 165R13 made by Vredestein, sold at Coker tire for $96 each. (note: they are 165R13, not marked as 165/70/13 but I believe the OD is the same - side note, the original tires on early cars are 145R13)
They a nice period correct tire, although the photo makes them look quite skinny (stock photo?!?).
Hey Myron. With all due respect, those would be a terrible choice.
They are a 165/80-13. Click on the specs and you will see they are 23.5" OD. A 165/70-13 (the proper sized OE tire) has an OD of about 22.1" A 185/60-13 has an OD of about 21.7" A 145-13 has an OD of about 22.1"
That 165-13 you linked to would be WAY too large in diameter and would surely rub like crazy....
