All I can get from them is that they are Bridgestone. (Or so I read from the top picture.)

Possibly Potenza RE720's?

Bridgestone Playz?

they're a nice fit anyway, though a bit more stretch would be sweet

Tread pattern is different to the Playz from what I have seen, but correct on the fact that Bridgestone make more than the one style of 175/50R13. So, when are we gonna start to get them? :?

I am sorry to have to bring up the past, but as much as I would love to have flared guards like this Carry I do believe it would be impossible to open the sliding rear doors. What a shame!

looks sick mate.

makes me want to get mine running again soooo much more.

looking for an f10A if anybody knows where i can get one!

how did you go about lowering it?

lowering blocks in the rear and cut springs in front or what?

im planning on dumping the rear of mine. not sure about the front yet.
