Trident Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 175/70R13 Winter Force Arctic Claws. Around 3k miles so far and they've performed well 2 yrs later & I'm at 27-28k miles and have had no issues with the Claws. Well worth the $$ spent. Ballpark guess is 30-40℅ tread left. I'll try & measure the /32nds soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lrgvanman Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 I got two Vee Rubber 185/70-13s from Les Schwab about 4 months ago. 40,000 mi. rating. $125 incl. mount and bal. I had Hankooks before but out of stock so I opted for the Vee Rubber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MR_Loyale Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 The Michelin look alright here. Don't have any personal experience though. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/TireSearchResults.jsp?customSizeSearch=&performance=ALL&width=175%2F&ratio=70&diameter=13 The Michelins are great. I have them and love them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iceageg Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 If it is a dedicated trail rig or just a "get around the property" utility rig you could always go with a set of these. https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/13-and-15-inch-tractor-tires_60313563435.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivantruckman Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 for my daily driver I use walmart douglas xtra trac 185/70/13 , They were on sale for 39.00 as of 7/3/2015 , but they rip you off 18.00 dollars to install them . I just do cash and carry , Take them to a local small tire shop and for 7:50 each im in business . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mason_91Loyale Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Are snow tires the only real option for trying to get more grip with a stock loyale on trails? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlatFourFrenchy Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 I am back to stock height and rims and have a set of Firestone Winterforce tires on the way. Bring on the snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyhorse001 Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 (edited) Federal brand, off ebay. $200ish for a set of 4 Awesome wet, and dry traction. So far decent treadwear for performance rubber Size 185/60 Edited December 4, 2016 by crazyhorse001 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate E. Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 '83 GL 2wd wagon here. 185/70-13's all 'round for 3 season driving. A pair of WestLakes & a pair of Thunderer's from Les Schwab. Yeah, I know, not matching. It's a 2WD machine. These are basic, cheap tires that look nearly the same. They are noisy. That's really my only complaint. Wearing just fine. I've gotten 30+ mpg on highway travelin'. For winter tires, I just installed a set of non-studded Nokian Hakkapeliitta 7's. 175/70-13's. Found a deal at SimpleTire. https://simpletire.com/nokian-p175-70r13-t427757-tires?stmodel=hakkapeliitta-7&stcategory=winter&sttype=passenger&gclid=CMiU35z8788CFQMaaQodHjED7Q They are wonderfully quiet & roll way smoother. A supple feeling tire. The rain performance is fookin' awesome. No pulling or floaty business. They feel just a wee bit squirmier in the corners than the other tires on tarmac. RPM's are up just a tick for a given speed. 2800rpm is a GPS 62-63mph. A few miles on some greasy 32deg cold damp road a couple weeks ago. Seemed stable. Predictable. Haven"t put any snow miles in yet. Looks like I'll get a chance in the next couple days. NE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortaay Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Who knew 13s would be hard to come by. They used to be everywhere. I have a full set I am going to sell for cheap.... Nothing special 175s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moosens Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Pete , where did you score those? I've heard about them but never crossed my hands yet. I'd be curious of course to see how they last. Pirelli tires generally feel fantastic the first 10k then go to crap fast. And the only need garlic , no sauce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosens Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 We had a great re-tread guy here once. But of course he couldn't compete and didn't have the factory I'd expect the Italians do. i think I've put about 500 miles on my 78 these past three years total. And I'm not exactly going to be touring the country in it going forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try & measure the /32nds soonA not-so-happy update... passenger side rear has broken a belt with approx 30-31k miles. The Artic Claws are no longer available thru my tire shop. 4 new Mastercraft ordered for installation tomorrow. I'll keep the other 3 Claws around for spares.
