What 13" tyres are out there for a kit car? Some that are good and grip well, but not r888 slick like, if there are any

Just trying to weigh up the options on 15" or 13" wheels

Yoko A021R's on mine and rate them very highly

Also if you get stuck in rain when your out for a run, you don't have to 'tip toe' home like some of the other soft rubber out there

I got a set of TOYO 350's for less than £150 delivered from camskill.com. The limit to cornering is the ability of my kidneys to stay on the correct side of my body, and the associated pain caused.

Great,

What kind of milage do you get out of them? And what size do you run?

205/60 x 13

as for mileage, it depends how heavy you are with the right foot tbh
Changed the rears last year an iirc they had done about 6000 miles

Paid £78 each fitted at the local Yoko dealer
