I guess it depends on your definition of "performance", as both the Kumho
V710 and Hoosier A6/R6 are available in 13" sizes...of course, these are pure
DOT R tires, with just enough surface grooves (2, actually lol) to satisfy the
letter of the law and not suitable for any type of wet surface use! But, in
terms of performance, they can't be touched by any other street legal tire.
There is one DOT R which is a perfectly acceptable daily driver, the Toyo
RA1, also available in a 205/60-13...if I stick with 13" rims, that's what I'll
be using.
