  • 165/70R13s

    Get 'em while they're hot! I recently put new tires on all my 13s but I ran a quote anyway. $170 shipped to my door for 4 of them. May order a set or two for spares anyway.



    They're even H rated lol

      Good for rear tires, since treadwear rating is only 340.

          Type in 165/70-13 and you also get the same tire at $2.30 cheaper. The only difference appears to be supplier code numbers, which I'd guess means they came from two different factories. Perhaps the lot bought from each was a slightly different price, which is reflected in the retail from Tires-easy.

          Just a guess.

          The smart money will wait till Tires-easy runs another 5% off sale. I think that sale comes every couple of months. At .05 X $33.00 times = $1.65 each tire X four = $6.60 total savings. That would help pay almost 1/4th of the shipping. Not a lot but better than nothing.

              Thanks Nasty!

              After I did my B6/ATX swap and then put on Aspire suspension, I got some Hercules 165/70-13s for my Aspire alloys. I liked the size. Fits a lot better than 175/70-13s, as they are about 7mm lower (14mm smaller diameter). Not sure having H speed rated tires is necessary, but having that performance cushion makes one seem safer at sustained higher speeds.

              Fits really well on the 4.5" wide Aspire alloys (or steelies). This was the stock Aspire tire size anyway.
