TIRES, TIRES, TIRES, at TireRack.com, May 2005

As most of you know... finding tires in 13 inch sizes locally is really a chore.

(Use the Tire Calculator above for measurements and size comparisons...)

TireRack, as well as some other online services... offers about the GREATEST selectivity you could ask for... and has a network of installers for you to choose from.  If you order your wheels AND tires at the same time... they can be shipped directly to your home, mounted, ballanced and full of air... ready for you to install.  (I don't believe they offer any wheels in a 13 inch, 4x98 bolt pattern... this is just FYI)

Otherwise, have them drop-shipped to your local participating dealer... Mine tires were mounted, balanced, installed, and the old tires discarded for 10 bucks a wheel.

(My choice of Sumitumo HTR200's, 175HR50X13 fronts, 205HR60X13 rears, new valve stems too... totalled $172.00 out the door!)

Prices are up a bit, but still reasonable.
