hello, i was just wondering what options i have for performance tires that will fit the stock wheels, i know about the sumitomo 205/60/13, anyone know about any others? also what is the widest tire that will fit the stock wheel? i have an 85 gs. thanks

 

For what style of driving? Race, Street, Rally, Drift.....Mud Bogging

 

street mainly, with a lot of mud bogging, lol

 

I got some Cooper Cobras in 205/60/13 They seem to be okay so far? Plus the sidewalls look badass. Cobra heads sculpted into them. Of course you can also go white letter on them too.
Someone was trying to tell me they do not fit well on the stock width. I see no evidence of the tread
bowing out, they look like they belong on the car.

 

$ for value for street stick with the Sumitomos, you'll pay 2 or 3 times as much for marginal gain.

 

Mine were $320 mounted and balanced. Most affordable set of tires I've ever bought. Is there another 205/60/13 available besides the sumi's and cobras? No place I went to could seem to find another tire in that size?

 

Toyo RA1 at $104 @

 

BF Goodrich used to make 205/60, but not anymore. Quite producing them about a year or so ago. I got the last 2 in all of Canada, and I barely used them as my engine blew shortly after I got them mounted. If you can find 2 more, I could sell you these for a good price.

 

cool, thanks guys

 

No problem

 

Actually, they didn't quit making them in that size. They just don't sell them to the general public anymore. The "Legends" series uses a spec tire, BFG Comp T/A 205/60-13. Heavy tires though, weighing in at ~20LBS each WITHOUT a rim.
I have aquired a couple sets of these, mildly used. I plan to use them for autocross and track days, but I doubt they are going to save any weight over my 15x7's and 205/50-15's.
They do have a super stiff sidewall, though.
