it's tough to get good tires in a 13" in the US. i took off a set of 13" Panasports when i bought the car, simply because i couldn't get a tire that i could trust in the corners/rain. i'm hoping to find a nice set of 15X8's that i can run a hankook 225 45 15 RS3 on.
also, where i'm from, i'll never have a fast starlet. . these guys will always have me beat!
