Current tire options for 13" wheels?
« on: November 25, 2013, 00:51:57 »
The threads I've found focus on replacing the 13" wheels with larger ones, but this is not what I want to do. What is the present state of tire availability for P185/80 R13, preferably with the narrow white stripe? The typical tire shops do not carry these aside from trailer tires, and the Cokers are very costly. Anyone have luck with more basic setup for a daily driver? Thanks!

The Pagoda cars had 14 inch wheels, you may want to try on of the 190 SL forums/vendors for more detailed information or replacement items.

Maxxis makes that size with white stripe.

There are probably other sources, but you can have a look at it here
