Just wondering if anyone knows where they sell low profile 13" tyres?

The size i'm after is 165/55/13 or 175/50/13.

Ive tried a MINI place they said $175 each for 175/50/13 Yokohama.

Still trying to find a place that sell NANKANG.

Cheers
Craig

Sorry I can't help with a stockist, but Sime and Pirelli also make tyres in 175/50, so make sure you ask for those. The Sime shouldn't lighten your wallet much more than $100 a corner.

had a couple of different brands ranging around $65 fitted and balanced, only cheapies but would still last forever on a Mighty Boy, they were off the shelf no waiting.
will check brand tomorrow if it helps .

175/50/R13 for $65 a corner? If that is true I'll take as many as they have in stock!

They are the performance tire. Of course you can expect to pay that much for them. Ask them if they have Sime in stock. You should be able to get them for around the $100ea mark.

I've got the 539s on my falcon.
Worst tyre I've ever had.

Performance is rubbish.
Squeals easily - when not even pushed.
Don't get the 'feel' that I expect.
Does not give me confidence in the wet.

Might be different on a light vehicle, however I'll never buy them again.
