  • Another Tyre Site with some nice little choices!

    I'm always on the take for appropriately small tyres for our little cars and I found this place:



    Go start looking up your doughnut desires:



    I began to list all the nice tyres, but found that all my links were the same. You'll have to pick the sizes yourself! Try these:

    -155/80-12 (Dunlop Graspic snow)

    These sizes would be perfect for a converted 4 X 100mm Festiva with the stock Aspire 4.5" wide rims:

    -165/65-13 (just a couple MMs lower than stock ride height)
    -155/70-13 (right at stock height)
    -165/70-13 (just about 12MM above stock height--this size worked well on my Mutt's wheels after conversion)

    Choices include Pirelli P400s, Bridgestones, Nokias, Mastercrafts, Nankangs, and a few more.

    If you look hard you'll even find some 135/80-13s, although the size finder doesn't have a "135" on the list (you'll see these incidental to some other small sizes on the complete size listings). I would check your load range very carefully before getting these skinny ones, though!

    There's a (probably more expensive) alternative to the 195/45-15 Proxes. Look it up.

    There are a couple of choices in the 185/55-14 size, too. A ton of choices in the 175/65-14s.

    I'll stop now and let ya'll look for yourselves.

    Tne main catch is probably the COST of many of these. Nokia Hakkapeliitas are pretty expensive, but I hear they're worth it for snow tyres. I'm checking out the Hakka WRs in 165/70-13 for my Aspire alloys to run from late November to March.


    Call and find out for yourselves.
