Re: Citicar/Comutacar Tire Source
The 155 will be too big and will rub. The largest diameter tire that
you might get away with is the 145/80R12. The Guardsman 145/80R12

Re: wheels
Wow, 10" rims on a C-Car. Based on the rim size, I am assuming that you are
running bias-ply tires and not radials on these rims. I guess compared to
wobbly trailer tires that almost any type of

Last year for C-Cars?
Hi folks,
Does anyone know when the last Comutacar was made? I can't recall if it was
'80, '81, or '82. I know the first Citicars were made in '74, but when did
it all end?
Thanks,
