I ordered two Nanking 12''[cx668] tires from Amazon and just put them on the front of my Festy. There are a few different 12'' tires to pick from. I have to say that it rides better now than it has for a long time. I hit 70 and it felt smooth as silk with no shake or vibration. They were $50 each. My last ones were Yokahamas and they always had a little vibe at 55 even when new and it got worse as they aged. Well, now I will see how long this good news lasts.

Tires make quite a bit of difference with these cars specially if you switch to some larger wheels so that your sidewall isn't so tall and squishy."The White Turd" 1993 Festiva 144k miles. (Winner of FOTM November 2016)

I sort of want to try balance beads in 12in tires. They work very well in big tires and even 14in from a cobalt, not sure how well it would work on the tiny 12in tire though
