[T3] RE: [T3] Help! Tire size for my Square

[Everett Barnes <everettb@thesamba.com>]

<x-charset iso-8859-1>>Help! I'm trying to replace the tires on my little wagon. Right now shes
wearing 185 60 15 may-pops on the front, and 165r15s min the back.

165R15 is the original radial tire size and probably the best choice.  Any
tire size that results in a different tire height in the front will result
in an incorrect speedo reading.  I think anything bigger would rub too?
 My 165s rub as is at full steering wheel lock.

I have seen people use up to 185/65/15s in the rear but it was a tight fit
on a car with no sagging.

>The fronts have to go now, next to no tread, and wobble quite a bit @ about
47+.

My '63 Notch did this at 60+ until I drove at 65 mph for 30 minutes or so
and both rear tires "exploded" off the rim within 2 miles of each other.
