I had 185/70X15 Vredesteins on the wire wheel but with the Minilites I went to 185X15 Vredesteins. Very happy with the taller size. If I remember correctly they are 1" taller which gives 1/2' more ground clearance. (Helps a lot).
They roll really well and being slightly taller the side wall seems stiffer than the 185/70. The 185X15 tracks very straight. They also fill up the wheel well nicely.
The downside is that you need to trim about 1/4" off the front seam of the fender and shroud at the very bottom or they will rub under very hard cornering. (Not that I ever do!)
No rubbing issues now and will replace with the same tire when time.
Euro Tire in NJ was the best place I found and had them 2 days later to MA. Great to work with.
