bobzilla Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Just wondering if anybody has ever run these on stock wheels? If so any handling/ clearance issues. My Loyalle is not lifted. I found these tires, a snow tire with studs im thinkin of removeing, for cheap. The main problem, as we all know is the lack of aggresive 13" tires. I only use my Subie in winter, maybe 3k miles/year, so tread wear is not really an issue. Now clearance and handling are though. Let me know! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoobDood05 Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 When i got my scoob (1990 loyale wagon) it had P185/70R13/85T's all around, (assuming thats the same size your asking about) stock height and the tires did just fine, no clearance issues at all, but now i am running 175/70R13/82H cause they didnt have my original kind in stock. i hope this helps.

Markus56 Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 185/85r13's will fit your loyal just fine... if you can find them. Those are my preferred tire size for the stock rims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red92 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 What brand/model of tires are they? I might be needing some snow tires this winter as well, and the local shops only seem to have 175/70/13s in stock... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatchsub Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Good luck finding that size. Every year buying tires in 13inch gets a bit more difficult. I took what i could and got 185/70/r13s for my coupe and they look good and handle ok. Honesty no tire is really going to help your handling that much with a stockish suspension. I have a good amount of mods to mine and handling is still Meh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subcyclist Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 If in Oregon-Washington Les Schwab Tires has 185-80-13 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 (edited) I Believe that 185/85/13" could be too Tall... Could Rub the Fenders in certain Curves. I Used 205/60 R13 flawlessly on the Subaru EA82 Wagon, on Subaru steelies, mags and Aftermarket wheels; here is a Comparison Side by Side Between 185/70 R 13 and 205/60 R 13, the 205 is the Fat one on the left; Both has the Same Tallness: Kind Regards.

spazomatic Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 I had those on my stock height 84GL, and had no issues with fender clearence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 (edited) I had those on my stock height 84GL, and had no issues with fender clearence. Those... Which ones? Edited March 28, 2016 by Loyale 2.7 Turbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spazomatic Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Those... Which ones? The 185 x 85 - 13s. sorry I didn't specify:drunk: it wasn't until I installed my 195x75-14s that I had to cut my fenders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eulogious Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 If in Oregon-Washington Les Schwab Tires has 185-80-13 Good luck with that. Last year I bought basically the last set that any les schwab had seen for a long time. Called around to 3 different locations before I found a set. They are the Wintertrac tires, and they are the only tire I could find in 185/80/13. They are also a snow tire. The 185/80/13 fit with no problems what so ever with some room to spare, so I imagine that 185/85/13 might fit. But finding that size tire, good luck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 (edited) Well... we have plenty of 13" Tires here.Have you already searched for 13" tires online?http://www.onlinetires.com/user/vehicle/tires/allbrands.html Edited March 28, 2016 by Loyale 2.7 Turbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzilla Posted October 14, 2011 Author Share Posted October 14, 2011 Ive allready got the tires. I just wanted to check to see if anybody had run these before without a lift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N0TKG Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I have an extra set of wheels and had knobby 185/80s with studs mounted on them for winter. Now I can't find them anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lrgvanman Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Those old 185/70r13s are wearing in the front and I will soon be shopping to replace them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee2 Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 I always thought wider tires on the Loyale looked much better than the standard 175/70R13. Is 185 the widest tire that will fit ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look my post above, 205/60 R13 fits great, on standard Subaru 4X140 steelies, Subaru Mags, and Aftermarket Wheels. Kind Regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfoyl Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 I would think 205's on stock 5" wheels would be a little wide, especially with a lower profile. Suitable width for a 5" is 155-185. A 6" wheel is 175-205. Maybe ok on a hellaflush Civic or AE86 Corolla. (And yes, I'm sure several people have run 225's on a 6" wheel with `no problem')...

Dee2 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Thanks guys, I'll have to double check if the standard Loyale is a 5" or 6" wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
