Title: Wtb Tires
Post by: red snapper on February 13, 2007, 09:04:56 AM

I need to buy 2- 13\" tires for my Fiat. The only tire sizes that I can find are a 70 or 80 tire sidewall. I want something more of a lower profile (if there is such a thing). Does anyone work at a tire store here? Or where do you suggest I go. Thanks, Brian.

Pirelli makes some really low profile tires in 13 inch.  I can't remember exactly the size, but I think it was a 195/45/13 I had on my car way back.

Here is another

Sumitomo 175/50-13

Try Gorm at National Tire on Douglas rd in Burnaby.  He is a VW guy, working on a 56 oval.

One of the best online stores that I have visited is very professional and has focused on their passion about everything to do with the world of automobiles. They have structured an easy and quick way to that enables the buyer to save money and fuel by buying tires and wheels online. Please visit: www.clicktire.com.
