Hello All,

I did a Forum Search for this info, but it didn't yield anything that struck me as conclusive. I own an FB rx-7 and am wondering what the best street/economy tire size(s) would be? Right now I'm running 14 year old 185/70r13... Just bought the car as my new daily and this needs fixed xD

Thanks!

a 185 or 195 should be fine. the only thing you will find are cheap Chinese economy tires. Your local tire shop can help you out.

 

Much appreciated!

 

"Oh wow," are the words that escaped my mouth when I saw this tire and the price. The reviews on amazon aren't terrible and shipping free with prime!! I'm going to give them a shot and if I learn a lesson at least it won't set me back too much.

 

Bit skinny, but man, insane price. Good for you.

What do you mean by skinny? Does the tread look short??

 

175 width vs 185 of OE tires, is all. So its narrower = 'skinny'. Not a deal breaker, esp at the price.
I am running 205s, so its all relative...

Thanks for the explanation xD That got me thinking about this tire size tool I've used in the past: https://tiresize.com/
Super helpful with finding alternate tire sizes for my truck. Should I make that site into a new thread???

 

Haha After looking up those tires I have a pretty good idea of how you use your rotary lol Zoom On \m/

 

205 are the widest you can go without clearance issues. Back in the day it was a standard size to move to after the factory tires wore out. Little bit more traction and nicer look.
