On the 13 inch rims I would be looking at 185/60 13 - I'm sure that is what I used to run on my 13 steels

You can work out what size tyres you can fit to the wheels here:

However that won't tell you if they'll cause a problem, e.g. rubbing, on the car but at least it's a start

Cheers,

175/70/13 will be the standard size for them wheels I believe

Steve is right - that's the original size. However, it's not the only size which will fit.

Here's another tyre calculator tool: http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html
