What you think of 155/70/13's for the front of a bug, there goin on 13x5.5" wide rims.Something different, found a place up north called the tire factory, they sale German brands.There 21" tall, probably similar in height to a 195/50/15 i believe.
Would it screw with my braking up front at all?Speedometer ...ummm I figure, LOL but braking?
I got drums by the way.
thanks
ps. im aware some will say get 15's but I have 13's and 14's so ummm yeah. :wink: |

| those are way too narrow for a 5.5" rim. you should be able to find a much wider tire that has the same overall height. Skinny tires are definately NOT the best for braking. |

155s should be fine. there are still lots of people running 135s on 15 inch wheels :shock:
im runnin 195/50s on a 6 inch wide wheel so you should be able to go bigger. Bigger tires up front can never really hurt (unless your lowered and will rub) tire width and tire pressure affects braking, so yes you would be a lil worse off then stock, but you could always lower to psi a lil for more grip
155s should be fine but keep in mind there are alternatives that will be the same height but with a wider tead... If you have em run em, if not maybe look into something a lil wider (165+)
its your car do what you want |
