[Tigers] 13" tires

[Gary]

Brad,
 
I forgot to respond to your email on the list last summer.
 
I use 205/60-13 on 13x5 1/2 Libres on the front and 215/50-13 on 13x7
LIbres on the rear. The front valance on the inside corner is rolled back and
does not come close. I did not roll the rear lip (wish I would have) and
occasionally it touches. Although the Tiger front track is 3 1/2" wider, than
the rear, the outer lip of my rims are almost perfectly in line front to
back.

Brad,
I also have the Sumitomo HTR-200 tires on both my Tigers, 195/60-14 on a
set of Libres on the black car, and 205/60-13 on a set of Shelby wheels
on the white car. For more aggressive driving, I also have a set of
wider wheels with very sticky Hoosier R6's (these are really track
tires). You cannot run tires much wider than a 185 unless you roll the
lip of the wheel wells up and under.

Tire Rack lists lots of 175/70-13s, a few 185/70-13s and one 195/60-13
plus the two 205/60/13s.

Pickin's is gettin' slimmer in the 13" size....

I know that this has probably been asked countless times but please bare
with me. I haven't had my car roadworthy for quite some time and I
haven't really followed the list either. I have LAT 70 wheels and I
would like to know, from the few still running 13" tires, what you guys
are using. I realize the selection is slim but I would like to run one
more set of 13's before I spring for new wheels. -Brad
