73WhiteLJSL got a full set of 13" 205s for his car a month or two ago. From memory he had two options (Sumitos and something else) .

I've commonly heard figures between $120 and $180 a pop for new tyres of that size (from actual tyre joints).

I just put a set of 13" SF-340 Eagers on my car, two 205s and two 225s. I can't say I actually know how good they are because I can't drive it yet lol, but they were among the best when they were made, that's for sure!

I bought all second hand and the cheapest I found was $100 for two 205s with about 90% tread. I was more than happy with that.

I'd look around and find out what shops have some spares out the back that they're welling to sell cheaply, hopefully find a few that way and then complete the set with brand newies.

Good luck. Thankfully you don't have 8" wheels like me :tease:

I am running Sumitomo 205/60R13s and I am quite happy with them. :spoton:

The other tyre i was recommended was the Bridgestone Grid III or something like that.
