Tyre Sizes

[Bmac800]

I have a Caterham fitted with a Raceline Zetec and have bought 13" x 6" Minilites and 8" wide for the rear but am not sure what size tyres to get.
Was thinking about 185 x 13 for the front and 205 x 13 for the rear but would this be too narrow on the rear.
Thanks for any help.

That's the standard tyre size for cars up to R500 on the rear.

what power is the zetec? I think people often over-tyre their caterhams.

The engine is the top spec Raceline one with throttle bodies so is supposed to be around 200bhp.

In which case, I agree the 205s should be fine.

Avon CR500's thats what you want.

Ihave a new set going on next week. The Khumos that were on the car when I got it were great in the dry, but Sh!!t in the wet.
