tyres for my Sherpa

[benzo]

OK so I have a set of wheels sorted for my daily but need to figure out what to do tyre wise

the wheels I have bought are 13x5.5 +38, and currently have 185/70R13 which is obviously way to large.

standard tyres are 145/70R12

From the info given what size tyre would you recommend?

I was thinking 155/60R13 which I know is slightly smaller. every tyre shop I have been to thus far are unable to source them

Thanks in advance, Ben.

far out theres some weird sized tyres in that list konakid.

145 wide? hardly worth even buying something decent!

to the original poster, can you get some wider wheels off another car?

my mate put 185/60? on his 13x5.5. they are semi slicks, look alright. bit bulgy though. but its an rx7 so it looks ok.

search every wreckers for 13inch spacer savers, rip the tyre off them, or go to a place that sells drag tyres, the fronts are what you want:D

Gah I wish you could quote multiple posts on here

Henry - I've been sussing the small tyre guide for ages

Dave - I have got wider wheels from another car. did you read my post?

standard wheels = 12x4 with 145/70R12

New wheels = 13x5.5 +38 VW Mk1 rims

185/60 is way too large

Not really after stretch, would be near impossible with 5.5J. just need a really small tyre around the same rolling diameter as standard

155/65? I know I can get some

I'll take some pics to show how large these 185/70's are

try Bob Janes if its round and black they can get them. seen a set they got in for an early model citroen something weird like 16" dia and the tread area was about 75 mm wide, thought they were front runners.
