Hi all, I'm looking for street legal dot approved semi slick tyre for 13inch wheels. Something like toyo proxies r888 that can be found in most other sizes. I'm not chasing 10/10ths or racing for sheep stations, just looking for something that will allow some safe spirited driving while still being a legal road tyre. I want something that will expire after a handful of heat cycles. Just something that looks the part and a street performer first, track day tyre second. I'm sure this has been thrashed out before, but I'm new here and my search skills frankly aren't great. Many thanks in advance. |

Yokohama AO48R is your answer. |

Sound great. But I can't seem to find them in 13s. Where do you get them from? Any other ideas also welcome. Thanks |

From memory they are too loud according to the testing http://www.minispares.com/product/Classic/TYRE25.aspx http://oz.minisport.com/yok1755013a048r ... 0-r13.html http://www.gbcarparts.com/proddetail.as ...

I've heard these ones might be alright, and are available in 175/50R13. Might be easier to get in Australia? https://nankangtyres.com.au/tyre/ns-2r/ |

Pity about the yokos not being fit approved they look the part. I guess the nankangts make the short list. Thanks! Any other ideas also welcome. |

I know some guys here have 13x8inch wheels with toyo tires R888 though I forgot what size. Try to use the search function. If you are decided to get the Nankang's, please don't forget to post a short review. I'm curious about their road performance. |

Correct A048's are not dot marked. I bought Nankang NS-2R. They looked like the best minispares offered. So I bought them. Cant complain so far, but haven't really done any spirited driving |
