Question:
I’m looking for a 185/60r13 tire, and I see that the Yokohama a539 is available in that size. I see you have those in smaller sizes, are you able to order in the above sizing?
Answer:
It's likely we don't stock the 60 series version due to fitment issues. 13's are already a large wheel for a Mini and anything taller and wider is bound to cause rubbing unless with the exact type of wheel and/or spacers and flares in place.

Question:
good morning. I aminterested in the 175/50 x 13 yoko tires for my 1970 MG Midget. My midget has 13" chrome wire wheels that came with it when I bought it new some 50 years ago!!!!! Do you know if installing these tires on the square wheel well cars will fit without rubbing. I currently have 165/70 x 13" tires on it and they rubbed slightly on the fender lip which I ground off. Thanks for the help. Hope you know someone who has this setup.
Answer:
Hard to know. These tires are wider but not as tall. 50 series tires may mitigate the rubbing as the sidewall isn't as tall as your 70's but since the tire is wider they may still rub. Unless you have a good reason to go wider I would stick with the tires that work.

What Tire Fits a Classic Mini?

This is definitely a topic that keeps coming up! What wheel and tire combinations can be made to fit a Classic Mini? Just a few days ago, had a customer call for “175/55-10” as though they could just be picked off the rack! Hmmm, I’ve never seen such a size, except maybe on a Yamaha Banshee Quad for doing burnouts! I thought it would be a good time to update what combinations are currently available, and a little bit about fitting them to most Minis. It’s been pointed out by me and others, that all the common combinations end up having about the same overall rolling diameter.
