Tires for 13x6 wheels?
 
I have some Riken mesh 13x6 wheels (which i would love to replace with the 15x7 enkeis, but anyway) i need some sort of tire that would survivie autox and hillclimb use. Meaning not a pure slick if i can aviod it but i think i might be forced that route... I think R888 comes in a size i can use as well.

autox folks? any insights?

Its getting really hard to find any tires that fit a 13 inch rim much less the wider
ones you would probably be after (205/60R13 or 215/50R13) and also in a
decent performance range. Anything you may find out there (other than a
Hoosier or Toyo which cost ~$180.00 per tire and up) is only rated to 118 mph.

Last year Sumitomo where plentiful and cheap (<$50.00 per tire). Now they are
hard to find if out there. This is in the 205/60R13 size.

Yeah, the R888s come in sizes that will fit. I've been on the Sumitomos for a few years now, and although they are not a "race tire", they do alright for me.

anyone have a link or model number for said sumitomo? i also have two diamond racing wheels in 15x8. i could just opt to buy two more of those wheels.
