Just seen these tyres

Sick of my 155/70/13 tyres and am looking for new ones.

Cheapest I found for the sizes I'd like are these

or these (but look naff)

Do you think they'd be any good? They're going on standard steels.

Will you have the clearance to steer with more tyre under your arches?

Personally I'd always choose a tyre without a rim protector if I could, I just don't like the look of them, especially as a bit of sidewall bulge gives a kind of retro look anyway.

Hnmm that's a good point! Wouldn't want them to rub on the arches, esp at the back on standard rod..

165/55/r13 are about the same price and are probably much more worth getting. I'm a bit worried about the speedo being off though with the 165s?

I put up with it, I'm on 165/55s. Over reading is fine. It's under reading that will get you in trouble!

How about these?? http://www.camskill.co.uk/m73b0s373p6811/TOYO_TYRES_CAR_TOYO_CF1_TOYO_CF_1_-_175_60R13_77H_TL_

I have these as my fronts, keep same rolling radius, good price and best tyres I've had, grippy as!

Cheers for the help!

I'll see what I can get locally cheaper 175/60 or 165/55
