THE SMALLER THE TIRE THE BETTER for snow. just to let you know.


155 is a good start =)

i always wondered how skinny a tire would fit on our rims

[HondaBoy]

they were 5.5 inches across. 155 is the smallest i'd go. but then i dont need skinny snow tires here. you can fit up to a 205 pretty much good onto that rim too. but you'd want a skinny tire.

[T-Funk]

dont 155 tires need a rim equal or less than 5 inches wide to fit on?
im so confused

[HondaBoy]

if your worried, just get a 175. that's fairly small. 155mm is a tad more than 6 inches though, so it'd be ayt for a 5.5in rim. i've seen a civic with 155 series tires and it had the 13x5.5 steelies at the junk yard.

So wait 205's will fit on my stock 13's? i have P155/XX/13's right now... they look like bike tires...

[HondaBoy]

yeah, 205's actually do fit. just barely, but they will fit on a 13 inch rim. i have a set of 13's that i'm fixing up that are getting 205 60's put on. that size tire is just not that common and is usually special order.

any pix of 205's on our 13's? like tread pix?

[HondaBoy]

the civic i saw them on is gone now. i can probley get some pix of the tires by themself. until i get the tires i dont have pix though, on the wheel. the tires i'm going to use are Futura from pepboy's.

[3rdgenhatchDX]

sweet pix would be great.

well i emailed some companies about 205/60/R13's supposedly they exist... i'm skeptical tho, i really would like to have em, the falkens said "discontinued"

[HondaBoy]

BF goodrich still makes that size, i know that size still is made by quite a few companies, but in drag and street slicks which is not really what i'd need. i want something for daily driving with a little performance. i think there's still a bunch of japanese and european tire companies that still make 205/60/13's more available. i'm probley just going to go with Futura brand from pepboy's. just because they are more easily availabe to me.

Damn i wish my car could get to pepboys...
