13 inch tires

[Alpine Addict]

Anyone know of any good sources for 13 inch tires?

I was in Walmart yesterday and they carry a 175-70 made by Douglas for $43.00 per tire. They're just a regular every day tire, not a performance tire.

Kumho make 13" tires too.

Where did you purchase them?

I never get tires from Walmart.....Goodyear, for example, made to lesser specs for Walmart Stores.

I bought a new set of 13" General tires a year ago.....

You can order from Discount tires:

Walmart still has to sell tires that meet DOT specs. It's a liability issue.

I am running on a tire Called Maxtour GT Radial. They were under $300 Canadian for a set of four. They look pretty good on the car and they are a decent tire, but because I drive like an idiot, I am tempted to spring for an expensive tire with less sidewall flex.

This also might be the ideal time to upgrade to 14" wheels - if your not hung up on originality.

I bought Maxxis radials from Coker Tire. They have a 5/8" whitewall. Not really a performance tire but they seem to stand up to my abuse and work well enough.

An excellent tyre is the Continental Eco Contact 3. It comes in 165/80 R 13 (which is very close to original Alpine size). This is a premium tyre, very quiet and with good across the board ratings.
