There really are no high performance street tires in 13" sizes any more. There are competition tires, but nothing all that great for street use. Sorry.

They're not very good at all, but they are the only summer tire available in 13" sizes.

If you're really interested in performance, pick up a set of 15" wheels. You can get used Integra GS-R wheels for under $200 and with the proper tire size (usually 195/50-15)they'll fit most of the older Hondas that came with 13" wheels from the factory.

I have a couple sets of 15" wheels, fat fives and fits. I have a set of 13" rims that I was running slicks on but I would like to find a nice cheap 13" drag radial to run on them that I could air down and have a nice fat sidewall for the street. kinda sucks that there isn't much out there though :/

Sadly, the truth of the matter is that the current automotive market doesn't really have many 13" wheels. A vast majority of the cars out there that have small wheels, don't really get below 15" wheel sizes.

All of those tires are all-seasons with the exception of the Sumitomo (crappy summer tires) and the RA-1 and R888 (R compound track tires).
