I have four 175x50x13's
Two are nearly down to the wear indicator.
Two are Bridgstone Potenza's with good tread say $50 each or $70 for the two.
First two are free with the second two.
Buyer collects.

It's not recommended to run 175/50 13s on 4.5" rims

185/50?? :shock:

Are they road tyres? What's on the sidewall, RE050 or similar?

175 or 185, still very interested regardless. Mark them down as sold pending inspection. I just want to be sure they aren't the nasty potenzas.

I'll have a look Sat arvo if that's okay, as I will be in Geelong anyway. If I'm happy I'll pay cash for the lot on the spot.

They won't be going on 4.5" rims if I buy them.

The taxi spec ones that are really hard, never wear out but have no grip.

That's why I want to check whan number is on the side. I have a mate who was in the tyre game, he can tell me how grippy they are from that number apparently. :)

Yes Scott that's right. But Bridgestone have now stopped making 175x50x13's :x so I have gone up to 195x45x13, same rolling radius, from Goodyear.
I got 8 of the last 11 in Oz :P

There is a Bond Bug three wheeler at the Arthurs Seat museum, and they use 3 x Mini rims. :lol:

On a side note, did anyone else notice the tyres on the Pulsar-engined Mini from Tassie at Mini50Show? 165/40R15!! I've never seen that size before, and he didn't seem to have modded anything in the suspension to fit them.
