Hey everyone,
I own a 1991 subaru justy that has the 165/65-13 tire size on it, and i actualy had my tire go completely flat on my way to work this morning because i havnt been able to find ANY of these tires anywhere in my location(i live in maine.) I was wondering if anyone knew where i could get them online or if i had any other options for sizes that would fit. Maybe i just havnt searched enough, but i cant seem to find any.
any help would be appriciated!
-nick

Nick-- I just got some tires that a I am VERY happy with. They are all-weather (Not too aggressive ). They fit in place of the stock tire just fine. No rubbing or anything bad. And a very close match to the original size. Just a bit bigger-maybe 1/2 inch? Got them from a Good year dealer in Virginia. Brand is Sumitomo. Model HTR T4. Size P165 70R13. Cost was $54 each before any extra foolishness. I paid the $50 extra for 'road hazard' just to protect my new beauties. Pressure to 51 PSI, which should help a little with my mileage, and sure makes it steer easier. Not like a truck now! I like 'em a lot.

Hi there i have a 95 justy and yes they do exist. I was looking at those Sumitomo HTR t4's you mentioned and they look like a sweet tire. how much higher did the sidewall seem to your original 165 65 13's? i just don't want to puchase these off tirerack with out being sure they will be ok.

Hi--
It seems I forgot to tell which Justy those tires fit upon. I have a 1989 GL Hatchback 4WD. They may have been 3/4 inch bigger OD than the stock tires. Well...now I have to think back a bit...I'm not sure what I had on there was stock, come to think of it, because the tireman said he had never seen "those." However, they fit just fine, and are just a smidgen larger than stock.
So I got 51 PSI tire (better steering, less drag on highway ), a little taller gearing ( better milage). I'm very happy. I could not say how the body on other models/years would be. Good Luck
