Mark Stanton Posted March 3, 2002 Share Posted March 3, 2002 Will, you'll soon make a couple of friends - Blatman and Gee-finn the lightweight 13 inchers are sure to post through with all the merits of Bridgestones, Yokohamas and Avons but perhaps not Fuldas If its any help make sure they're round.

mb893 Posted March 4, 2002 Share Posted March 4, 2002 5.5" or 6" wheels with Yoko 032's (check regs for sprints) make a fine combination - on longevity and grip. Regards John The MegaBLADE Site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatman Posted March 4, 2002 Share Posted March 4, 2002 Yep. 6x13 rims, using 185/60 tyres. Yoko A032's have great grip but short life, ie around 5000 if you're not on track a lot. Expect that to decrease rapidly the more track time you have. Yoko A021's are a similar compound to the 32's, but have better wet weather charachteristics, if that is a concern, and 2-3mm more tread when new, so should last longer. 13" tyres are generally a lot cheaper than their 15" counterparts, so I wouldn't worry about the longevity thing too much.
