Technical 155/80 R13 on seicento sporting?

[johnatan]

Hi everyone!

Can i put some larger tires on my sei. sporting (155/80 R13)?

 

[Jd801]

You can but why would you want to?

 

[Duncan]

I'd say no, that tyre has a much taller profile. Would look stupid as well!

It'll be horrible, handling and looks wise.

Why are you even thinking of it?

 

[johnatan]

I do not know, maybe the car will look better

You're right, bad idea.
I will stay on 155/70 R13

Thank you all

175/50 13 is the way to go :slayer:

155 70 13?
Standard sporting tyres are 165 55 13 :S

 

[johnatan]

I know that the best/cool choice of tires is 165 55 13, but it is very, very difficult to find...

the seicento manual says:
155/65 R13 – 73T
155/70 R13 – 75T
165/55 R13 – 70H
145/70 R13 – 71Q M+S

I admit, 155/80 R13 is a terrible idea

Fully agree with this. Hardcore 13" wheels all the way, nevermind all this 14" rubbish

 

[blu73]

i may have just bought some 13" wheels..... I'm looking at yoko a048 175/50r13 this very second lol

To resurrect this thread lol

what size is best (cheapest and most choice) for a Seicento Sporting with the standard 13inch alloys?

 

[fingers99]

I'd stick with the stock size. Someone said that the new Nankangs were not at all bad in that size.

 

[Eklipze3k]

^^ Confirmed, XR611's in 165/55/13 are really rather good for the price.

 

[jatkinson]

80 profile? you going 4x4 ing?

 

[Fiatseicento2002]

Where are you finding them? I can only find pirellis at silly money and Accelera's

 

[fingers99]

I can't even remember the size!

Camskills, Black Circles, Top Gear?

I tried black circles and Tyreshopper with no luck lol it's not for me so I need somewhere that will do it all

 

[Eklipze3k]

I've a local mobile guy that fits for £10 a corner and comes to you, so get the tyres from Camskill and get a local dude out to fit. Sorted.
