Title: tyres Post by: wilburwilde on August 23, 2009, 07:44:18 PM Hi all,
Does anyone know know the overall diameter of a 6.40 x 13inch tyre. So a 185/80r13 then equal a 6.40 x 13 roughly as i have read somewhere before?? The reason i'm asking is cause at 80kph (50mph) the poor little engine seems to be reving it guts out and = not getting to far. It currently has 185/75 r13's at the moment, and i'm trying to decide on a tyre choice for early next year. I don't want change the diff ratio. I know it well never be a speeder but just want a bit more than what i've got if its there to be had. Thanks for your help.

A very handy convertor. Will Title: Re: tyres Post by: Fc1958 on August 23, 2009, 09:34:59 PM Isn't there a diff ratio you change to that gives longer legs using a 185/80R13 and lets the engine run lower revs?

How many people run the 6.40 x 13r from http://www.antiquetyres.com.au/taxonomy/term/324 ($2) and what do you think of them to use??
