Tyres for Herald 13/60 Convertible

[Andrew P]

We have just purchased a Herald 13/60 convertible and wondered if anyone can advise the best place to get a set of 4 new tyres best suited to the car - and at a good price ? We found a place offering 4 original style 145R13 PIRELLI CINTURATO tyres but at £400 for 4. If anyone knows an alternative source that might be more economical that would be great !

Andrew,

See the "tyres that really work thread" , ignore the ludicrous, but near the end Avons, 4 for £130.

Thank you so much Doug,

That's great ! Just to make sure that I was looking in the right place is it the Avon ZT5 175/70 R13 82T tyres that you have used for your Herald ?

They look to be decent tyres & incredibly good value.

check the size of the tyre, if it has standard wheels I think they should be 155 not 175.

Have a look at the side wall of the tyre that are on the car at present.

Andrew,

I don't have a Herald!  I have a GT6, I got 5 Avons (buy four get one free) for £120 about 3 years ago.  Check out Mikes post, If they do 175s for that price it's likely they do 155s also.

Thanks for the help.

For the record our Herald has 155/80 R13 79T Tyres and we now have some arranged at a good price so all is fine.

Many thanks !

Andrew
