recomended budget 13'' rear tires?
i'm going to be running 13'' vx civic wheels on the rear of my civic.
my trap speeds will be 115-120 mph, and i will be street driving on these wheels sometimes, so i need regular tires? would any good street tire do? its not like i'll be hitting those speeds for more than a few hundred feet....
just curious on anyones opinion.....thanks!=adam

Re: (redzcstandardhatch)
go to your local tire shop and tell them you want the cheapest/skinniest tires for a 13" wheel. i think the skinniest you can get is like 155 or 165(correct me if im wrong). thats what i did! 
ill check my size when i get home, just cant remember right now. i had like $60 in two brand new tires mounted/balanced!!!

haha, i picked up 4 brand new michelen's off of ebay for $4! ($40 shipping though...they always get you on the shipping)
but, they're 155/80/13's and have been mid 140's by the lights with no wandering, vibrations, or anything out of the ordinary
