Tires! Didja know they made 'em this tiny?

[Safety Guy]

From Tires-easy, here are some more interesting sizes:

And even smaller:

The 155/70-12 will put you about 6 to 7mm lower than stock.

The 145/70-12s will put you about 13mm lower than stock.

The only tire you can get (at least from Tires-easy right now), is the fairly well known 175/50-13, which puts you about 15mm lower than stock. Only that one costs a bunch. The little skinny ones linked above are quite cheap in comparison.

Finally, this 165/55-13 (which I think I've posted about before) puts you around 11mm lower than stock:

So how low would you want to go?

Buy some, put them on and tell us! Ha!!

I got those not so long ago. Gives me a near stock diameter, good traction and cheap to boot!

How do you like them so far? How's the ride, handling, etc?

Or did you see me asking you that in the other thread?

Worth every penny, I swear! T speed rated! Made of real imported rubber compounds! Custom shipped from overseas in big metal boxes!

PS: I ran the 175/60-13 Falkens on my Estrellas for awhile before I put on my snows. They felt really nice and grippy. Tires-easy still has a few left. I'm thinking I should have gotten the 185/60-13s when I had the chance though (for the 5.5" wide Estrellas).

The original Minis had 10" tires.

[Pu241]

Some of the early mico cars had 8" tires.
