Is anyone running 205 60 13's on their stock aluminum wheels. If so any problems with rubbing or handling with the 60 series tire versus the stock 185 70's?

 

I have run Sumitomo HTR 200s in 205/60/13 and 215/50/13 with no issues on my '85 GS on stock "+" style wheels.

 

Used to run 205/60/13"s all round and had no issues at all

 

I ran 205-60-13's on the stock wheels on my 85 GSL with no issues.

 

not really related, where abouts in alberta?

 

Anybody running the 205/60's on a stock height SA?

i'm running 205 60/13 on a set of widened rx4 rims and stock ride height. no problems.

 

I had 205/60R13s on my old GLC's SA wheels (same dimensions as the plus wheels). Didn't appear to cause any problems.

 

Well I've heard the SA's struts are different from the FB's and want to make sure there's no clearance issues as I need some new tires and want to go wider

 

I have 205/60r13 BFG Comp T/As on my 80 SA with no issues at all, there is plenty of clearance and it is still at stock ride height as well.

 

Awesome. Anyone know a good all season 205/60 tire? The Sumitomo's are apparetly summer tires and not recommended in snow and freezing temps

 

BTW Does this keep the speedo calibration the same?

 

Cooper Cobra GT's. M&S rated all season tire.

 

So with this size there is no speedometer change right?

 

i don't think there's enough difference to matter.

 

It's about a 2.2% difference. When the speedo reads 60 MPH, you'll really be going 58.7 MPH.

 

What's the price on these per tire and where can they be obtained from?

 

I've been running that size since the 80s. Good luck finding a good tire in that size today. Sumis and Coopers are the only ones I've seen. I think the sumi is a bit better as its a dry summer only tire, not a M&S all season.

Like percent said its around 2% difference, not enough that you'll care.
