Tires for 13X5 rims

[Mark Burnham]

Hello all,

I have an '81 Scirocco that badly needs new tires. The stockers
are 175/70-13. Pretty skinny! As far as I can tell, the best tires
in this size are Yokohama AVID T4's. If I go up to 185/60-13, I
can get Yoko AVS Intermediates, which I've had before, and
like. What sizes are you knowledgeable people running? Will
185/60-13's work well?

Thanks in advance!

Don't do it...

I tried that on my RIP '81 Scirocco S and it sucked compared to 185 60 14's...

On a 13x5" wheel, 175 70 13 is the best size, believe it or not.

I ended up having the 185 60 13's "adjusted" or pro rated to 185 60 14's, I
went with 14" wheels, and it handled much better.

That's what I run on my '85 Scirocco and I like them (with the 13"
Tarantulas).

Phil,

Do you run 185 60 13's?

You should try 14's, you will be amazed what another inch can do. ;^)

I found that for the street, 175 70 13 handled better than 185 60 13's.
