right basiclly goignt o buy some tyres this month ive got 6x13's, naturally i looked on the wall of the tyre that was on it which was 175/50/R13 but i thought the 175's were for 7's so am i correct in thinking that 165's are for 6's?

if you want to run wide looking tyres run

175/45 R13 84H

or skinny

145/55 R13 84H

but i recon the 145 be bit of a strech and illegal to run

165s are put on 12 x 6s so if you can get 165 50 r13s then they would fit! but is there such a size? everyone i know with sportspacks run 175 50 r13s!

yeah the 165 50 r13's are £26 half the price of 175's addimted the tyre brand is nicknamed 'ditch finders' but then again only if you drive like a vinkle dink
