So which one of the current sizes would work best on my 59 Bugeye - original wheels? And where do you find them?

Thanks!
Larry

The correct modern size is 145/80-13, but these aren't readily available. 155/80-13's fit the stock wheels just fine and there are many more varieties to choose from in this size. I like Kumho Powerstar 758's. I got muy last set at Discount Tire for $25 each + mount & balance. You may also try tirerack.com
