Has anyone use this tire size before? I have to replace my tires (185/60/13), they look like slicks right now, they rub a little when i turn. Im thinking this 175/50R13 tire size would solve the problem.

They'd be a little smaller than stock 12's, and if you can find that tire size somewhere cheap i don't know why they wouldn't work.

I run them on my track car. They work awesome once about half the tread is worn off.
They are about 1.5" shorter than stock, lowers gearing so helps pull out of corners.Nothing says "triumph of enthusiasm over physics" like a Front Wheel Drive race car.

See if you can find a 175-60-13. They'll be almost the same diameter as stock. I ran with that size in a Falken tire and had no rubbing issues at all with lowered suspension.

I have a set of htr seem to be good tires.
175-60-r13 had them loved them year round. Are not being made anymore.
It's a good thing you don't read the stickies, you might of learned something.

I ran these same tires when my Festiva was on air suspension. They were great tires, and cheap too!Simon - pimptiva.comComment
