165/55/13s

[slater]

anyone here run them? How do they compare to 175/50s size wise?

my-tyres does Nankangs for 27.50 which is quite a bit cheaper then the cheap 175/50 Fuldas at 45quid each!

[SeventyNine]

thinking of running them on the 12's then? ;D

Dan's Mk3 Polo, 165/55s on a 13x7.

I think if your going to have that kind off stretch then you got to get it lower tho!!

What do you need to know?

I run 165/55 R14 on my 7j Lotus rims. They work as one would expect a tyre to.

Hey, all I want to know is how they look stretched onto 8`s ;D And i`ll find out soon, I think Ordered a set just now.. 140GBP for 4 tyres is hella cheap in Norway at least! Just need to get 2 of my revos fixed up now... One`s dented, the other has curb rash

[stealthstylz]

I get them about 15 quid each lol. I was gonna put em on the 13x8s on the uno but I wanted narrower tyres on the front and you can get any lower than 155/65's. They'll go on easy though, infact i'd even put em on a 13x9.

Dunno. Just wanted something that could hold air and look black and round when required. It is hardly the sort of car that will be driven in such a way that tyre make choice matters

I only ask because i found it impossible to find 165/55/14's!!!

[street]

I was gonna run them on my 9's, but given the nature of the car they were going on (the twin engined Escy) I got a bit concerned.... and after some advice from Matt Stealthstylz I have decided on the 185/5513's he suggested instead
