Yep, I'd love to get a set of those, but since I'm planning on moving to the Aspire setup with larger rims on my '93GL, I have to pass.

The 155-12s will have to do. I paid $23 for my most recent one, compared to $43 each for the ones you linked to.

If they were about $30 each I might rethink that.

these are the 165/70/R12 's that everybody says are hard to find!

Thanks John!


Those are decent prices. I wonder how good Nanking's are?

Some choices for military "crossbar style" off road tires (vintage Jeeps) and some others.

Get these:

135-15s! :shock:

Oh, and the 165-12s on Ebay are 60 series, so they are a little small, but could be safe on a lighter Festiva which doesn't carry much load, I suppose. Those tires are for Minis.

Interesting site. I may have to buy some from them. I just plugged a front 155-12 the other day, but it was close to the edge of the tread. I'll see if it lasts.

I could start with a pair of 165/70-12s on my '93GL alloy front wheels.

I bought 4 185/70R13 Geostars from Gearworks for the race car. Those tires are about 1-1/4" taller than most tires of that size. Our track rules state that all tires must be the same size so I'm going to experiment with some of these and some other tires to put some stagger in the car.
