Tyre sizes. 13 inch rims
Discussion
Morning all,
Just wondering what tyre sizes owners use on 13” rims (6j front and 8j rear) as an exact replacement for my current tyres only leave the option of Avon ZZS which doesn’t give much choice. Car is an R400D.
Any help and where you purchase the tyres from would be appreciated.

I’ve got the 6” fronts and 8” rears on 13s and the 185 and 215 size ZZS tyres fit a treat. I buy them from BMTR or Caterham depending on stock (prices are virtually identical) and get my local tyre place to fit them, never had any issues.
ZZS is a great tyre, loads of dry grip, very progressive break away and last a good few miles. For info, I used to deal with Avon tyres in a previous role at work and the rep told me the ZZS will give around 80% the grip of ZZR in the dry, but with much better wet weather capability.

according to Toyo, 205s don't fit on 8" rims

ETA: I ran 205x60s on 6" rims all round on my Caterham. Albeit Yokos from memory
