Ooh, that pic looks like an A008.

They still make the A008 in 10". I know someone who put them on a Mini just because he could.

 

Cool, thanks for the link

 

I wish they were 205/60 with RWL then it would be awesome for sure. Great tire though for stock.

 

Not available in the US. Japan only.

 

Looks like you can order them online: ADVAN HF Type D | ADVAN STYLISH COLLECTION

 

Not cheap though.. at least twice the price of anything else, and thats without shipping. I wonder if they are any good?

 

Look up "federal 595 13" on ebay and you will find some tires that fit the bill. I mounted a set of 205's on my buddies panasports two weeks ago and saw someone running a set of 185's on their car at the Lucky Dog Laguna Seca race (also a couple of weeks ago). After 7-1/2 hours the 185's were pretty trashed, but they would be great on the street.

 

The big deal with these is the classic tread pattern.

There are actually quite a few 13" and 14" summer performance tires being made, they're just not DOT approved so they aren't sold in the US.

 

thanks for sharing! I may just have to look into some of these myself...

 

I had a set of the A008’s back in the early 90’s they where great tires! Made the car handle like it was on rails.

 

Checked in at my local Discount Tire today and they're not available in the ordering system which i cludes custom tires from Japan. Dude said likely to be available sometime next year, but I need tires now so went with Yoko Advan S-Drives in 205/55-15, my second set.
