Title: 13" tires where to find them?
Post by TechMOGogy on 11/22/13 at 21:43:50

Hi,
New here and thought it would a good place to ask a few questions.
Questions relate to where I can purchase and info on DMack DMG1 tires.
I have 13"x5" rims am currently looking at the 165/80R13's
Is there a dealer here in Ontario or somewhere in Canada
My use will be road use so I am thinking of the hard compound.
Anyone have anything good or bad to say about the DMG1's
Cheers and TIA,
Dan

Chris Martin, Old School Motorsports is a DMack Dealer. A quick look at his website, he only stocks DMG 2/3. http://www.oldschoolmotorsports.ca/?page_id=352

You don't want gravel tires for daily use. No matter what compound, you'll have bad grip, and wear through them very quick.

If you are thinking of using rally tires in the winter DON'T!

The compounds get hard like hockey pucks and are awful. In very cold weather chunks of the tread can actually break and fall out.
