Title: Tyres 145/70 R13 for 126 BIS?
Post by: mile on August 09, 2015, 04:52:36 PM

Ok?
Difference in Diameter: percentage =+2,7% 14 mm
Is it possible to use without any problems?

Yes but they'd be taller than the 135 70s that it should have on meaning that the speedo will be out slightly and (In my opinion) look a tad odd because the tyre will fill the arches.

I've got 145 60s on mine if your after a wider tyre. It's a funny size that were made for axaim micro cars so the choices are limited and there pricey but they are just a smidgen smaller than the 135s and look a lot better :)

Ours still has its 165/65/13's on that were fitted when we bought it and as gadge says they do fill the arches (see pics) but they are good tyres and i will be looking for some new wheels and tyres but sadly i need to save up some money again  :cry:
