Expert Reply:
The ST175/80D13 load range B tires like part # AM3S060 are actually 2 inches larger in diameter then the old A78-13 tires. The section width is the same as the old tire. As long as you have clearance it shouldn't be an issue. You need 4 or more inches from the top of the tire to the fender to not interfere with suspension components. The ST175/80D13 tires load range B is the closest tire size to the A78-13 tires that we carry.
