Hi guys,

As above, would a 205/60/13 be ok on a 6J rim?

Cheers,
Andy

I run 205 x 13 on all corners, and personly would advise that you dont do so
our cars are very light. and the 205 is a wide tyre, that results in the car sliding about on the road, even in the dry

One of my winter mods, is to downsize to 185x13s

I'm running 205/60/13 Yoko A032s on a set of 6J rims, they fit nicely on the rim.

Surprised at the above posting - I used to run 185/60/13version of the same tyre and I can vouch for the fact that there is a hell of a lot more grip with the wider tyres. In fact, I'm currently looking for wider 13" sticky road-legal tyres - anyone got any ideas?

Depends on your weight
Super Six heavier than a Locost especially the Tigers with the full Sierra rear
My 205 R888's on 6" look a bit squished 185 look ok
Tyre pressures also make a big difference

6J is the correct size for 205/60 13" R888
