Tyre Profiles - 13 x 7

[Alan G]

Will be ordering my 13 x 7 superlites very soon but having mixed minds what tyre profile to go with...

 

185 60's like on Big Baz's Mk1 and Rich Sav's

 

 

 

 

or 175 50's

 

 

 

[Mark2Mark]

Both look good

 

But

 

Looks wise for me it's got to be the 175 50's but it's your car and you've got to live with the way it looks and drives.

[DEP]

I prefer the look of 175 s, but it depends what you want from the car.

id say 185/60 as irish roads arnt the best lol

 

richs tyres look bigger than bazs

[Baz.]

I thought that Tim aswell you sure they are 185 60 13 mate? Mine are 185 55 13 mate

 

I like em both, the orange escort had 175 50 13 but not as nice on the road as 185's just remember about the room you have on the rear

[Fiesta Steve]

Yep, well I'm after getting a 307e axle from cossymax , overall width is 46" so should not have a problem there? Hopefully not anyway!

[Baz.]

you sure there not 205, they look big, here is mine close up 185 55 13

 

[Alan G]

Hmmmm....

 

They do look big alright now looking at it!

Are yours 185 55's Baz mate? And arches should be collected on 29th / 30th too mate!

[escort21]

They give the same look as a 175/50 as they are the same profile

[mk2 stu]

175/50 no question

[emu]

I prefer the 175-70's/195-45's . But I struggle to get in and out of my garage on 185-60's so anything less is a definate no-no

[marky4]

i'd go 185 x 60 or 185 x 55

[w p e]

why not 185.55.13 . best of both worlds
