Hiya,
Just wondered what size tyres people are running as 165/60/13 no longer seem to be available. My car has 175/50/13 Yokohama's fitted but they look a bit skinny under the arches compared to the original tyres.

Hi Keith
Yours had Bridgestone 165/60/13 on when it came over which we like new tread wise but unfortunately cracked through age and had to go. All I could find where falkens in 165/60/13 and had them on mini before and thought they handled poorly especially in wet, I went for the yoko 539's as I have always found them to handle great on 12's they do look a bit skinny and when I had to replace the ones on the Black ERA I bought falkens and these look better but arent half as good as the yoko's.
So its a looks over handling issue. And your yokos are like 200 miles old or so.
Original tyres pop up now and again but I wouldnt be keen on driving on 18 year old old stock tyres personally.
I believe yoko and bridgestone make 165 60 13 in japan but not available here.
