Ross Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Havn't seen any decent 13" tires new. I saw a very old set of what looked like 175/70 R13 Mud tires on a honda city a while ago! Looked about 15 years old though! Retreads can be ok, depends on what the testing regs are over there. The treads dont usually come off now days like they used to, but sidewalls can be a problem. You just don't know what has been done to the tires before they are retreaded - ie hit curbs etc. This can lead to sidewall failures. If you dont drive like a looney, they are ok - i have some on mine at the moment as i couldn't afford anythine else at the time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 nice, they dont look that expensive to me - but what do you guys pay for a cheap tire over there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirstSubaruGLwagon Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Check out these pricy Michelins http://www.libraracing.com/tires.htm but i think they only come in 14 and 15 I like the kumho R700 also maybe a 13"farm tractor tire http://www.firestoneag.com/index.asp http://www.firestoneag.com/search_results.asp?ref=2 BF goodwrench snow tire Hakkapeliitta http://www.magneticcouch.com/sale.html Or you could drill out some 12" ATV rims and get some really agresive tires on your subee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffast Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 where do you find retreads in colorado? finiancially challanged -jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nkx Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 i was going to say about the kumhos too, but everyone else has beaten me to it. however, if you read the reviews on tirerack, they say they arent very good in the snow, and they wear fast on pavement.

the sucker king Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 those farm treads are only rated for about 20 mph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
75subie Posted September 26, 2005 Author Share Posted September 26, 2005 man, tires are getting pricy! i guess the retreads are looking better and better for now.here is a link to what they look like.: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2-185-80-13-NEW-COLD-CAPPED-MUD-AND-SNOW-TIRES-11-32_W0QQitemZ8000757074QQcategoryZ66472QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem i am in contact with the guy to get 175s instead of 185s. narrower is better than wider right? thanks very much for all the replies guys, those are some neat tractor tires, but i do too much highway driving.

subeman90 Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 check your inspection laws and such....here in PA you can't put retreads on a steering axle (front)....so you would only be able to use them on the rear... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edrach Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Check out the Nokian website. For all the hype and such, the Hakkipollitta snow tires are still the best studless snows. And they are aggressive enough to work well in the mud. since i bought the 13in alloys, i want to put a real aggressive mud/snow tire on the brat.what aggressive 13`s would you guys recomend? also, anybody hear have bad luck with remanufactured tires that have new treads (retreads)?i found some nice ones. thanks Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
