off-road tyres on 13''s??

brumby_pete · Post by **brumby_pete** » Thu Jan 31, 2008 8:15 pm

instead of buying wheels right away, id like to get some tyres for my brumby that will go on the 13x5's it has at the moment. main off road use would be on sand with about a 25% off road 75% road use. anyone know of any specific tyres or available sizes that i could put on her. (not bothering with new wheels right away as i dont have the cash being a 17yr old and all and it needs new tyres pretty soon. like a week or so haha)

Cheers.

please try searching. This has come up heaps before.

But abit of info, you wont really find any 13inch '4wd' tyres unless they are old rally tyres etc.

If its mainly sand work you do, road tyres are the best. Try and find some really wide ones so you get the best flotation possible. But yeh not really much you can do with 13's.

I found Nankangs were wide enough for the wagon on sand, fairly common and cheap in Bris., changed to Kruisers for long distance but being slightly taller in profile put out the speedo out maybe 5k/hr, neways if you can't find any at GC send me a pm and i'll quote a set up here for you, prolly cost $82 per tyre[fitted and balanced]. If you want the tyre mobs' number, pm me.

Back when I was your age I had a good run out of some 205/60R13 Bridgestone Eagers.
Try and find any good, chunky, aggressive road tyre and it will perform surprisingly well.
Failing that, have a look at the Toyo 720. Not very big though.

13" Olympic Sprinters used to have a pretty good pattern for some offroad, I think they may have changed it now. If yours is going to be mainly sand and on road, most HT (Highway Terrain) or normal tires will do the job.

light truck tyres are another option. Nice tough tread and sidewalls.

thanks guys. i bought some michelin's yesterday. the XM1+ in 185/70R13. ive already tried them out and they r pretty good. the guy couldnt get in the TOYO 720's for another 2 months. flag that. and i got the XM1+'s for 90 each which is pretty good.

cheers all.
