13" Tyres (R13)

Passenger tyre R13 is a rather common tyre model, which is used on passenger cars and light commercial vehicles.

What do "R" and "13" Mean in Tyre Marking?

If you know the principles of tyre marking, you can understand whether certain tyres are suitable for a particular vehicle. All that the driver needs to know is commonly marked on the sidewall of tyres. For example, designation “R13” in the marking of tyre 155/70R13 can be read as follows:

• The letter "R" does not mean the radius, but the fact that the tyre is radial.
• The number "13" indicates that the diameter at rim seat is 13 inches.

What is the difference between winter and summer tyre models R13?

13" summer and winter tyres are manufactured using different compounds. Summer tyres are made of harder materials, winter tyres – of softer, so that they do not lose their elasticity in the cold weather and have good grip. Summer tyres have good performance only at high temperatures.

Another difference is the tread pattern. The softer it is and the more dense the pattern is, the lower the temperature recommended for tyre operation. Winter tyres have a lot of drainage grooves, designed for driving on wet snow, as well as lamellae for icy road grip.

Tips for Choosing R13 Tyres

The most important rule is to mount the tyre sizes recommended by the manufacturer for your vehicle. The sizes are determined taking into account all technical characteristics of the vehicle: weight, tendency to sideways skid, acceleration dynamics and maximum speed. The recommended size provides the most comfortable and safe ride.

There are several more nuances that should be considered when choosing 13" tyres:

• Do not forget to check the season marking and the date of manufacture on the sidewall.
• Do not mount wider tyres at the front – it affects the car's handling.
• Do not buy different tyres for rear and front axles. Ideally, front and rear tyres should have the same model so that their characteristics do not differ.

Make sure that the specific model is suitable for mounting on your vehicle, including load index. If you need light truck tyres, do not buy passenger tyres instead.
