Bridgestone don't make Eagers (SF 340) in 13" anymore. In fact they haven't made them in that size for a couple of years. I'm already onto my second set of Sumitomos since discovering they weren't avalible anymore.
You can only get them in 14" sizes.
I asked about 205/65R13s and was told they do not exist. You can only get 205/60R13s
If you want them i know Sumitoms make them, (HTR200), Bridgestone make them, Kuhomo make them and BF Goodrich make them.

yep the 13" eagers no longer are on production line, the only place u may find them is car yard, or if ur lucky at some tyre stores. i was lucky enough to get some 13" 205/65/13s, and were hardly used, pretty much brand new. they are very rare so if u do find some, keep them!

Yep I found a pair of two 205s at a Tyre Store as well. About 90% tread and $80 (or something) for the pair.

Commonly known as "hoon writing"
BF Goodrich & Yokohama both have it.

Hey guys,
They don't have the white writing your after Drakey, however another good option are GTradial tyres. 205/60/13,rated to 250kph,lifetime guarantee, highly recomended based on performance vs price. I've just purchased a set to be put away for future, atleast this way when the Eagers wear out i've got new 205's to go on the centrlines. I chose to do this now because the way it's going those of us who want decent 13's are gunna be up sh#t creek.

The lifetime guarentee is only against manufacturing defects. Most other makers only warranty for the first five years after the tyre was made, not from time of purchase. As most tyres don't last 5 years, the extra time is virtually meaningless.

^^^Absolutely true CHOPPER, It does give extra confidence in the product though! In my case, I'm lucky if i drive my Tory 3000km per year, my Eagers have been on 6yrs with atleast a few more in them yet,so the warranty on the GT's appeals to me.

Ohh the blowouts I have had using old eagers!
When I discovered they didn't make them anymore I started tracking down ones on ebay....out of 5 I bought I had 3 of them throw the treads.
I would look very closely for the manufacture date....now given as a 4 digit code (eg 4505 means 45th week of 2005)...if it has a 3 digit code...walk away...they are pre 2000 and you don't want them...stick to 5 yrs to be safe.
