Tire sizes for 13" wheels
Pezza - 10/10/07 at 06:15 PM

Ordered some 13x5.5 cxr's ( black of course ) for the indy last week and need to decide on tire size.
gonna go for 185 wide but after thoughts for depth, as I don't want the wheels to look lost in the arches.

Cheers
Ben

185/60/13, but then I made the arches to suit.

<-----

Got A048's really grippy and 13" gives that price advantage.

me too

185/60/13's all round

although you might like to consider 205/60/13's for the rear if youve got a decent ammount of power

me too 185/60/13 with ar048 yoko,excellent combo imho,made a difference on track day too..and you can get part worn slicks and things easily in these sizes

I currently have 185/60/13 on the front and 205/60/13s on the rear.

Dont know what diff you are running but the 205/60/13s with help top end speed a little.

Soft compound on the front, medium on the rear.
