Wow, 200whp on 13" rims.....no wonder you need tires. I would recommend saving up (if money is an issue) and buying either a set of 15" or 16" wheels.

Depending on what kind of driving your doing should determine you wheel/tire size and choice. For instance:

My daily driven P5 rolls on stock 16" polished wheels with stock 60series sidewall height.

At the drag strip it's 15" steelies with drag radials and baby spares in the rear.

On an auto-x course its 17" mp3 with falken azenis.

Do you see how it chages based on your needs?

so your saying that there are no suitable tires for the stock rims.
i was hoping i could save sopme money and get some nice 13 tires theres got to be some out there.

I don't know about that man....the last car I had with 13" wheels was my 1976 pinto. And at that time there were no tires at all for it.

I think you would be doing ok for yourself to go online and look up places like "wheelsnext.com" they sell 15" tire and wheel packages for DIRT CHEAP. I think you could get a set of nice 15" rims with good tires for about $400 with free shipping.

I'm curious to know what type of car you have and what mods have been done to achieve 200 hp?
