79 RX7 tires

Postby 79RX7 » Sun Mar 04, 2012 9:14

Can anyone recommend tires for a 79 RX-7? It seems to be very hard to find 13" tires these days. One source shows Kumho Solus KR21 and Sumitomo HTR T4 tires. Does anyone have any experience with these?

Thanks.

I ran sumitomo htr 200 on my old car and they were great tires.

How about these: http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direct/searchTiresByVehicleAndSize.do?yr=1979&ar=70&rd=13&vid=000555&sw=false&cs=185

I ran 205/50r13 on my '83 but I don't think you can get those anymore.

Go to The Tire Source in Boulder - 28th and Glenwood. 303-443-3021. See Pete the owner. He knows everything and everyone. Feel welcome to mention my name, too.

They've been around for a long time and have a great reputation, especially with racers and the sports car crowd. You can also see interesting cars there sometimes...

Thanks for the links and the references. The upside is that these are not expensive tires.
