I really prefer to go through tire rack and support the board, but the tires there are mostly all season sport. I was hoping to get something a little more aggressive - like summer-only sports.
Did I miss something on the site? If not, where should I go to order sportier tires?
The tires I currently have on are 185/70R/13. I think I'll stay with that size unless I can go a bit larger.
Thanks!

You're not going to get real sports tires in 13s, they don't make them anymore.
The best bet is Sumitomo HTR200s in 195/60/13, unless something else has come along in the past couple of years.
I moved up to 14s so I could get Falken Azenis. _________________ 4224479: 74 2002, #74 EP/FSP, daily driver

im in the same boat as you, trying to find some decent sport tires for my 13" minilites. Ive come up preety dry unless you go with high perf (toyo r888 or ra1)...which arnt good street tires. I may just bite the bullet and buy some 15" rotas or something

Give Ernie Bello at Bellos Motorsports a call. He's a vintage racer and a great guy and knows where to find all the old sizes.

do your Sumitomo HTR200s in 195/60/13 fit on non modified cars?
