195/45-13 maybe? They're a little wider than 175...

175/50 13 that is nice on a 7J rim...
but it makes a difference wich brand you have...
i had 175/50 13 from pirelli and from fulda and the fulda's are looking less high then pirelli's...

Bridgestone RE720 175/50-13" looks even better on a 7x13 ...

this is the info i am looking for thanks boys it is hard to return the tires after they have been fitted, so it is something you gotta get right before they go on,and you dont really know until they are on the rims

165/55/13 is a nice size too

slightly higher, but more stretch

they're available in goodyear and pirelli, and maybe some budget brand, pirelli's are ok, and the gooyears are very expensive.

i was thinking about that size actually a little more stretch,the less width is made up through the height ,so in theory the tyre should be more stretched and rounder and a similar radius

any pics??

haven't got any pics of them, I have 165/65 at the moment on my 6J's so that's not near the looks of 165/55 on 7's.

the links to order them in the UK:

nankang tires 25 pounds a piece
http://ssl.delti.com/cgi-bin/reifen...=D21103&dsco=10
pirelli's 41 pounds a piece
http://ssl.delti.com/cgi-bin/reifen...=272300&dsco=10
goodyears 45 pounds a piece
http://ssl.delti.com/cgi-bin/reifen...-115180&dsco=10

even though not cheap, a lot cheaper than 175/50 and I think a lot more stretch for your money.

What brand/type of wheels is that? I like them!
Looks like they have a very small ET-value. (offset)
