Hi all, as per title my wheel size is 5"x13". can anyone recommend a slick tyre that will fit that rim for short sprint's/hill climb's and the occasional drag day.

A 16/53 michelin Formula Renault front would go on there, not ideal though as the wheels are a tad skinny.

The slick in this photo is a 16/53 on a 5x13:

Hi phelpsa,, as long as they fit i'm not bothered,, any idea how much a corner? Do they come in different grade's of softness. Dont really want to be buying a new set of wheel's TBH, cheer's

Guy on ebay was selling them for £15 a corner. Might be worth giving him a ring (he lists his number) and seeing what he's got in stock.

Cheer's for the linky,, been in touch with the guy, and got set of 4 on the way, very reasonably priced, nice one!

I would be a bit wary of them, if they are not in a really really soft compound that would be too soft for circuits you won't get any heat in them on most sprints or hillclimbs.

Virtually everyone runs on Avon on the hills because they offer a wide range of sizes and compounds see BMTR but don't look at the prices

I have a set of 13" slicks from this guy on the internet. The compound is not good for sprints or hill climbs but brilliant on a track day. These slicks seem to last for ever and you can go into the corners quicker which of course makes you come out quicker At 60 quid a set they are bargain if track days are your thing.
