jonhill Posted January 30, 2003 Share Posted January 30, 2003 Does anyone know what the best list 1A tyre available for 13" wheels is? The caveat is that I want 205 60 R13 on the rears, and apparently it's becoming rare to find 205 R13 tyres. Bridgestone RE720s were recommended, but according to George Polly they aren't available in 205 for R13. Ditto Yoko A539s. He suggested Falken ZE502s, has anyone any experience of these?

Jason Plato Posted January 30, 2003 Share Posted January 30, 2003 I would go with the following : Bridgestone RE720 on the front in 185/60/13 and buff down to 3mm to reveal softer tread and minimise tread block movement Falken ZE502 on the rear in 205/60/13 buffed down to minimise tread block movement .

Bricol Posted January 30, 2003 Share Posted January 30, 2003 Have I read the book correctly - tyres other than those actually listed under 1A but marked as "retread" or "remould" with other markings removed are allowed? I know I've used remoulds with no hassle in production car trailling on the Westie and various other motros, but for speed events? (I have no problems with remoulds as remoulds per se - I have a set of Colway road tryes on the Integrale - excellent they are too!) Bri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Perry Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 Agree with Dave J, this is probably the best you can do with current tyre availablity. An alternative to the Falken rear is the Toyo 600 F3 which is also available in 205/60 x 13 which is of a similar hardness but has slightly thicker sidewalls.
