I don't know of any tyres in that size.

I recently got 175/60/13

if you do find some, i'd be keen to see how they go.

another possible size might be 215/50/13

nah just normal street tyres

im not sure if they still make them. I got a pair that were made in 06. Probably the last of a batch.

Would be worth checking with a supplier tho. for what they were id pay that money again for 13's

falken makes the 185/60/13 and 175/60/13 in the RE912? i think it is, I just got a pair of each, as well as a pair of 205/60/13 for good measure.

were under 150 each

rfrom what i hear, they're meant to be rather grippy, i don't know about how well they'll take abuse though.

these are going on an occasional driver, so i probably won't know anytime soon.

Buy second hand formula ford slicks off eBay, resonably cheap and loads of grip, they just don't last very long.

Oh really?

The only 175/60 my local tyre joints have only been able to come up with the Nexen's for $100 and Falken's that *E7* mentioned for $140

Will look into them Matt :)

kuhmo do a few 13's

i think they do 235/45 for those with width. and i think there was a 205/50 in there somewhere.

I dont know how you go about getting them tho as the list i had was for a rally car that needed street tyres for the tassie round of the arc.
