[Nick Mexi-cos]

Listen Brudders der was nuff XRpoo's with 185/60/13 that had there boots popped for da 185/60/13 pirelli P600 back in da day blud , I had nuff of dem on my old skool Bitch's bak in da day , Nuff respec peace and all

 

I have to say that 175/50/13 do look ace on most cars these days but Times are changing again and its all about the 8x13 rolling 195/45/13 oh thats My look not the sarf London Ting

[Nick Mexi-cos]

The orginal old skool sarf London look was 185/60/13 and along with 205/60/13 but the New Old skool sarf london look is 175/50/13

[Mick The Cabbie]

I prefer 175/50's. The overall stance has to be right tho, ie, rim width & ride height etc.

Having said that, there's nowt wrong with 185/60's, although in my experience they're more likely to cause clearance issues.

[w p e]

sorry peeps but polls dont lie blud init

[banarama]

id say 185 60 13,s take the poll. ps at least if you got a punture,you could stick a tube in it

[you'll get 10s on that]

Original South London look was 185/60 13 cause the 175/50 weren't available till the Pirelli P7F in 1984 which is when I bought my first set £80 +vat each if I remember (which I do !!) fitted them to my Revo split rims and put them on my 105e

[Posse]

60's were the way, still are in my book, 175 x 50's stretched over the rims came from the Vee Dub scene and the Euro look, same as the roof rack full of cack...
