Paul Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 ive found a place that do105/70R14 ...125/70R16....135/80R13....im going to email him asking if he has any 14" tyres in 135s !! 135/80/R13s are the standard fit tyres for my 1992 Panda I've got Goodyear GT2s fitted all round.If you've ever driven an old Fiat, you'll know why the brick is there...You can see the height of the sidewall here:Makes the 175/65/R13s of my Lupo look massive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jowey Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 135/80/R13s are the standard fit tyres for my 1992 Panda If you've ever driven an old Fiat, you'll know why the brick is there...my friends cinecinquento or what ever its called is the same .. she has 2 bricks in her boot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Green Giant Posted July 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 yeah?the profile is so big though!http://www.vag-tuner.com/groundhaus/Stretch_calculator.xls looking on there i like the look of 135/45 or 50's! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Green Giant Posted July 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 and they are temp tyres.? isnt it a max of 50mph on them or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jowey Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 (edited) i think the profile on a 135mm is going to be small anyways.. + dont forget that the sidewall is going to be hell of a stretched.... maths time80% of 135 = 108mm (approx sidewall size on a 135/80 tire)50% of 195 = 97.5mm (approx sidewall size on a 195/50 tire)yeh its a 60 limit i think with temp tires which means no motorways... just shave the writing saying temporary tires off the tires :S Edited July 21, 2008 by Jowey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Green Giant Posted July 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 yeah shaving is a defo, however, no over 60mph is fine, but for how long can it last, thats the main worry! im just not sure id feel too safe! and it would mean i would most probably only be able to use them for shows! and im not really into that!

heartagram Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 Are you on about space saver tyres? Cause I'm sure there a much softer compound and only have something daft like 500 miles worth of use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
