Anyone know who makes wide 205/215 R Rated tyres for 13 inch rims??? My choice would have been Dunlop but they only come in 190's.

Is this for the road? on a mini? how wide are your rims?

175/50 R13's are quite wide..and dunlop do 195's..but that is the only tire in that size.

A048R's only come in 175/50's and for a 205 i think you'd have to go Hoosier..

You don't specify what sidewall you want either.. :?

Not for road use. Rims are 13 x 8. Dunlop Rs would have been good but not wide enough. Ill keep looking. Someone suggested that motobike sidecar tyres are good value - need to check this out.
Thanks wild_willy
