Excellent

Fully agree, 165/70's are the way to go. I find Thunderer Mach 1 to be a fantastic tire at a reasonable cost. I would say that moving to a 165/70 over a 155/80 was one of the best improvements I have made in over 50 years of Bugeye ownership. FWIW I am running these on wire rims and inner tubes. Super handling and comfortable ride.

Nice explanation. As a Dutch speaker, I can't help but comment on "Vredestein". Fred-a-steen? More like Vraiduh-steyne! 🙂

I went with Kuhmo SOLUS 4S HA32 155/80R13's on my Bugeye. They're classified as an all season touring, not that I'll drive it very much in the winter. So far I've been quite happy with the performance. What's the aspect ratio on the Blockley 165R13'S? Other than the fact that they're next to impossible to source, would a 175/60R13 tire work well on a Bugeye?

How old is “ aged out “ ?
