Finding Tyres?

I am having a hard time finding any tyres wider than 205. Does anyone know of any brands that still make 215's or 225's in a 13 inch.

    The Yokohama web site still lists them but I have been told by 2 different tyre outlet's that the distributors dont have any 352's and will not be importing any more. Unless there are some lying around in a shop somewhere they say there are none available Aus wide. Cant even get the 205's anymore which sux cause I only need 2 (front edges chewed out of course)

    Sumitono make a 215/50x13 - the HTR 200

    http://www.sumitomotire.com/assets/products/performance/htr200_sm.pdf

    Toyo R888 is road legal but $/km on road car will be bad.

    Woohoo, thanks Avon! I've been looking for something in 195/60 13 for my Capri but hadn't come across anything.

    Cheers

    Looks like you're right Ron, that size list is off the US site, Australian range much, much smaller.

    Anyway, the aussie is strong against the greenback - group buy on os tyres anyone?

    All I've been able to find here are 205x60x13 by Maxxis and Hankook. Has a larger rolling diameter than the 215x50 so looks like one of those will have to do.

    Don't know if it is any help but I ended up with some Mastercraft Avenger G/T in 205/60R13 - only thing I could get in Aus in that size with RWL (on an RS2000 though....)
    For refernce rims ar 6" front, 7" rear










    Bought into the country by the Cooper Tyres importer direct from the States with ah pricetag to match. Can be prucahsed from your neares Cooper tyre dealer - these cost $175 each fitted.

    Cheers
