My Hornet's got pretty much exactly the factory size "heavy duty" tire, I 
forget the bias size, but it translated to 205/70-R14. 32/32 or 34/34 is 
pretty close for me. Mileage and wear matter most on this car.

There's a trick corner on my way to work, weird reverse camber and terrible 
surface, the rear of the Hornet just hates it; it hops like crazy on the 
hard tires, and I really have to crank the wheel to overcompensate for the 
understeer, and all that follows. 28- 26 psi rear would probably fix that! 
Oddly the 63 Classic, the exact opposite of a SOLO II car, I can toss 
through that same corner as fast or faster. The tanker weight of the axle 
may simply be unable to move up and down fast enough!
