Has anyone had any luck buying new 13" Wide tyres lately ? I am looking for some 215/65/13 or thereabouts
I started with nothing and still have most of it left.

You could be lucky ringing around for 215/50/13s but 205/60s are about it these days. If your eyes can handle it try some of the old skool jap car sites their into 13s

I was hoping to get at least a 65 aspect tyre or higher , the width is only so it will fit on a 7 inch rim.

60 series tyres are a bit small heightwise for what I am after.

Thommo , the 235 /60 are almost as tall as a stock 13" rag tyre , are you running 215 or 235 ? I dont know if a 235 would fit without clearance issues :?:

Im using the 215 and the car can be lowered right down over them with the right backspacing.
