Tires

What kind of tires do you guys use for your 13' wheel? I am using some off-brand right now and it sucks... I just can't find any good performance tires for 13 inch wheels...

Falken Azenis Sport are very nice tires they use to make them in 13's but they are kinda hard to find not sure if they still do

sumitomo HTR 200's- you can get them off tire rack for about 35 each i think

i recently read an article about them in grassroots motorsports, and they seemed to like them. i'm going to get them for my 7 when my "off-brand" tires wear out. it's a fairly popular tire for "old school imports"

I've got the Sumito HTR-200's on the front of mine and they seem great so far. Definitly much better grip than the radial gt's I've got on the back. I'm doing burnouts and donuts wherever I can to try and wear them out quicker

yeah they make toyo's in 13's that really all i can think of and theres really not much they make in 13's so the toyos are your best bet as far as traction goes, how do i know?? cause i work at a aftermarket wheel and tire company...unless theres something that i dont know...

There isn't much for performance tires for 13" rims. Basically just all season tires, and crappy ones at that, with the exception of a few. I would suggest the Sumitomo HTR 200, but other than that, there really isn't much.

I got some kuhmo's on 3 of my rims, and a pirelli on the right rear to get the most traction from my monster 12a! lol
