Where to buy wide 13" tires
Trying to to get some street tires for some wide 13 inch rims. When my build is done, I will have about 400 horses at the wheels I need some rubber to put this down if I hope to drive on the street.
The tire sizes currently on the rims are 225/50 13 on the rear and 225/45 13 on the front.
The only tires that I can find that size are Hooser's, but I do not want to be running those on the street.
Does anyone know of a similar size that may work or where I can buy street tires in these sizes? Thanks!

Kumho ECSTA V700 235/45 x 13
They are racing tires but they come with 7/32 of tread and have a tread pattern that works pretty good in the wet.

hey mikeric, i have not seen a decent or wide street tire for a 13inch wheel in a long time. its almost to the point that there are more competition tires than street tires.
htye do have 225/45's from Toyo in there R888's as well as 205/60. then there's the RA-1 which is a more streetable tire with a 205/60

My race tires are R888 and they are on 15". My car is primarily a track car, but it is registered as an antique, so I can drive it on the street. It is currently sitting on the stock rims, as the obviously, but I also have a set of Diamond Racing wheels with Hoosers of the above sizes on them.
What I will probably do, is just use the Diamond Racing wheels for... racing. I was trying to get something wider so that this beast is drivable on the street too.
For those concerned, the fenders are rolled, and the above listed tires/wheel combo has been run on this car. The drive train is NOT stock, it is a built and ported TII. I am running a standalone with 1600cc secondaries, FMIC, and BNR stage 4 with a 12psi wastegate. This car is not used for drag racing either.
