Re: Tires
120/50/13 is 60mm profile
135/45/13 is 61mm profile
150/40/13 is 60mm profile
170/35/13 is 59.5mm profile
200/30/13 is 60mm profile
That's the maths of it,
I doubt that any of those sizes are available as an off the shelf tyre.

Re: Tires
I don't think 175/60/13s will fit the Mini, they are almost an inch and a half taller than 175/50/13s.

Re: Tires
If you get really stuck you could order from minisport or minispares or someone along thoses lines, couriers costs are what would get you but if you had to get a few more bits it mightnt be too bad.
I dna, just a suggestion.

Re: Tires
yes, perfectly acceptable for NCT, once their is the correct tread depth in them (which doesn't last too long coz they are super soft)mad4mini's wrote:would love some a032's are they nct worthy?
Re: Tires
165/55 R13 Accelera tyres are easily available from any tyre shop/fitter. That size was standard on the Fiat Cinquecento sporting and work very well on a mini. Way better than the 175/50 R13 muck that was standard on sportpacks
