If you look at the door plate on your Wolfsbug you will find alternative
tire sizes recommended (its on mine at least). So the 205/70 size is not
cast in stone.

Besides we pretty much all know the MXT tire is recommended the one to
get - were just trying to find an alternative at less than $100 each per
tire.
