Vredsteins. Avai (link) in stock size 185/70-13. I bought the 205/60-13s for my stock rims. Not cheap (!), but known brand, VR-rated. If your wallet can't bear the 4-tire hit, do what I did, buy 2 one year, 2 the next

I run these on the stock wheels of my 83 GSL, I have RB springs all around.

Definitely a heavier feel to the steering compared to stock. They are grippy as heck. The price is good but they are not RWL. I only drive the car in the good weather, bet they suck in snow. This is what they look like on the car

Yep - @$70 you can't beat the Federals. Nice.
Didn't notice a huge diff going to 205 vs 185 in parking, but I am sure it takes a bit more muscle.
All part of the vintage sports car experience!
