Just bagged myself a set of 10 and 8 inch wellers, but was wondering what the tyre options are for 10 x 13?!!!  |

Are these for your Sierra? Do you want stretch or don't you want it? I've always known 205/60R13 as the widest available tyre in that size but I am sure someone else shall be along to comment  . |

According to one seller the Avon ACB10 is road legal LINK although these are wider than he was selling.. |

Yes, they are going to go on my Sierra. Although I am under no illusion that 10" rears may be an issue. I have a couple of 205,60,13's that I will try on a 10 and maybe a 195 on the 8 just to keep the stretch looking equal, not entirely certain how its going to look, I'm not a huge fan of stretched tyres and ultimately I may look for another 8" wheel and use them all round (the set I bought is 3 8's and 2 10's) I came across this, 205,60 15 on a 10 inch rim. Opinions!!  |

I've been poking around on the Avon site after clicking Ian's link. They do a more modern version but I bet they ain't cheap LINK I'm not a fan of stretched tyres and even on the 8's a 205 looks inadequate Get some 245/50/13's on em...  I've got a pair of 8 spoke wellers, 8x13 et0 and they look huge with no tyres on. Must get them blasted and powder coated sometime. If you decide to part with those cyclones (I think thats what they called the round hole ones) let me know...  |

Those ZZS look great, as you say probably not cheap! The biggest issue will be that I don't think I will get a correctly fitted tyre on a 10 inch rim to sit right on the Sierra, certainly not without adding arch extensions. Infact there's no guarantee that I'll get a stretched tyre to fit under the arch! Even a 7j et5 is on the edge!  |

How much room do you have at the back of that?

I have 8x15 et0 on my Sierra... problem is, it isnt a Ford...  But with 205's on the front and 225's on the back they look much smaller..  205/60/13's are rare now, very few manufacturers make them and even fewer retailers stock them. Toyo's are a stupid price and i'll bet those Avons would match them. |

Ford Sierra's are designed with 38-41mm offset - FWD fitting wheels basically. a 10" rim with et0 would need 6" of back space before you had to fit spacers and if the tyres weren't stretched I think you might foul the inner tub.

Hava a look at Dmac tyres, they make all sorts of shaped and sizes, but i have looked at a set of hard compound tarmac rally tyres that were about £45 a corner in an awkward size and they are also E marked for road use |

Too many projects, not enough time.

I used to have 195/70x13 Cooper Cobra on a Ventora and 215/60x13 BF Goodrich on a Cortina. Neither is available now. Shame.
