Hey guys, I searched the forums, and the faq's for this answer first and could not find exactly what Im looking for.Yesterday I walked out to my car and notice the stock 165r13 tire in the rear was completely flat.I want to replace with something similar and cheap, allthough when I do search's for 165r13 very few tires come up.Im wondering what other size 13 inch tires can I put on the stock rims.? I found 185/70/13 as a more popular size...I guess I want the cheapest, yet best performing size.. thanks for the info

 

If you want performance you will probably want to get some wider and perhaps larger rims so you can put on a wider tire. Also tirerack.com has some good deals on all sorts of tires.

 

Yea, If I wanted performance I would use my 15 inch rims and use a 205/50/15 or something like that.Problem is I live in Michigan where there are virtually no jobs, so I have to find the cheapest possible replacment I can.I just called 3 junk yards for 13 inch tires and they all said they did not have anything.I think they just dont want to go look for a $15 tire.Im gonna have to throw this spare on it, and drive around and see what I can find.

 

Wow, went to put spare on, managed to break 2 out of the 4 bolts.Barely turned them and the bolt just snapped right off.Im sooo sick of this old pos car.!@#!@$

 

My Neon came with 185s all around, now I have 195s in the front and since my backright tire blew 2 days agoI put on some 205 magsfrom a 1990 Daytona, the wider tires look alot cooler on the Neon, I might put 205's on in the front soI havematchingMagsif it doesnt screw with my speedometer.

Anybody know how much 205's will screw with the speedometer?

 

your car came with 14's though...not the 13's he is asking about

 

Its a shame you are in michigan, at the shop we have a brand new set of 185/70/13's sitting on the shelf that I doubt will ever be used, we could have mounted and balanced them for you for a good price but we are in south florida.

 

the junk yard out by me had a brand new set of 185/70-13 blizzaks....too bad they were 13's though, i would of loved to have them for the winter

 

I managed to get a used pair of 185/65/14's on rims for $35. They say ultra hp 4 on them. I think I got a good deal Now I gotta figure out how to get rear brake hub off so I can replace the 2 studs I broke.Im wondering If there is something back there I can turn to loosen the rear brakes to get that off? I briefly looked back there, but did not see anything.I drove about 100 miles yesterday on 2 studs, my friends think the bolts could break now and cause all sorts of havoc.I think the bolts will loosen before they break. The 2 that are there are directly opposite from each other, so Im sure that helps some..lol

 

all the tires ive bought in the past year, besides tires for my srt4 rims, have been bought from a local junk yard....$15 a piece isnt bad for as often as i go through tires
