B2Fresh Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 Who or where are can someone buy 13" low profile tires at.? Are they that rare now.? I have a set of 13x7's wheels that need tires. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment
Dolomite Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 They aren't common as they used to be. I usually Google the size I'm looking for and the tire rack or America's tire usually have some info. You'll most likely have to order them though. Quote Link to comment
B2Fresh Posted July 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 Thanks "Dolomite"... Yeah I remember back then they were I dime a dozen for the 13" but damn I didn't think they were this hard to get a hold of.. Just keep searching I guess.. Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 Why would you need / want low profile 13 inch tires? Surerly not for your 1964 VW bug! Most OEM 13 inch tires were "80" profile. 1 Quote Link to comment

Not for my bug but for my B210 cuz I'm getting ready to lower it also cuz I just picked up some 13x7 wheels for the ride.. Quote Link to comment

Lockleaf Posted July 9, 2016 Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 Nice. Thanks Dave. That also led me to an Achilles option in the same size. Quote Link to comment
Stitebunny Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 If you buy either of those please update with your thoughts after a few miles. I've been looking to get some 13's as well and these are the only street options I can find. Haven't had great luck with Federal in another size in a different car so am leary in those. And not familiar with Achilles at all. Quote Link to comment

scooter Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 I have the toyo ra1's in the 205/60/13 flavour. They are great. Not good for the winter at all.. They say take them off if its going to be below -7c.. What that is in american weird temperature i dont know. They are R compound tires. Theyre okay in the rain when theyre new, but once they get worn to their badass stage with two grooves left theyre not good in the rain Quote Link to comment
B2Fresh Posted August 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 Thanks "Scooter" Good info to follow. Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 I wish I could get 225/45/13's in treadwear 200. Quote Link to comment
scooter Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 You can get 225 50 13's but theyre hoodier A7's... Not good for the rain. Quote Link to comment
Tom1200 Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 I use Hoosier vintage TDs on the race car. 185/60D13 these have a 20.6 diameter, they are bias ply. I'll likely have an extra set at the end off the month, anyone can have if they like as I'll be putting a new set of rubber on before the fall races. Pretty much 0 threadeear, even when heat cycled out they are stickier than any street tire could hope to be. Of course like any good race tire they are lousy in the rain because there is almost no tread. They are also $860 a set mounted and balanced. They are a fantastic tire but they are only good for 8 days on track. Quote Link to comment
Lockleaf Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 Avon cr500 and ZZS is available in 245/50r13. High performance, but technically still a street tire. Possibly has to be ordered from Europe though... Mickey Thompson makes a street legal 245/50r13 as well. 1 Quote Link to comment
scooter Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Theres a local motorcycle shop that sells avon motorcycle tyres... Wonder if they can order avon car tyres as well Quote Link to comment
nvestor88 Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Had a set of B50 13, what would that equate to in general tire size? 245/50/13? Quote Link to comment
