need new 13's, 175-50r13's not available?

[69shelby]

Any size you guys use, currently i have some 185-60s on the car but want a lower profile.
tire rack and discount no go(

Try these.

I think Geneva dirt has a set of 175/50/13's he would sell

[TominMO]

Try these.

Note that those are summer-only tires, if it matters; and that size will increase engine revs 10% at hwy speeds over a 155/80x12. They will accelerate faster tho, kinda like an Aspire tranny.

The 175/60-13 Falkens are still available from Tires-easy:

I had these on Aqua's front end for a couple weeks and they handled pretty well IMO. As you can see, there are several other choices in that size as well. The Platinum 7s are new there and may be a good tire for all I know.

Then there is this size:

Those 165/65-13s are a couple mm smaller diameter than your current 185/60s which should not drop your mileage at all. They would probably increase it, while still giving some good handling.

If two of your current 185/60s are in good shape, you could also just buy two more of the same size. Here are your choices at Tires-easy:

That would be the most cost-effective route and the way I'd go if two of your current tires are okay. The 175/60-13s would be my next choice and would lower your profile without going too low. Plus all of those choices are all seasons and should get you through the rest of winter better than any summer tire. My Falkens did fine in the little snow we had here in OH. (Since I put all snows on we've had only one dose of about an inch. Rats!)

I'm really thinking about getting the 165/55/13s! Since 175/50s are practically unicorn poop.
