165 70 R13 Tyres
If you need 165 70 R13 tyres, you have come to the right place. At Protyre, we offer our customers the best selection of tyres at affordable prices. This is one of the classic small-car fitments, and our fitters still see it regularly on well-kept superminis from the 1990s and 2000s. We source our products from the industry's leading manufacturers, including Michelin, Goodyear and Dunlop.
165 70 R13 tyres have the following dimensions: a width of 165mm, a profile of 70 per cent of that width, which gives a sidewall height of 115.5mm, radial (R) construction, and a wheel rim of 13 inches. That tall sidewall is the reason the size rides comfortably on poor surfaces, which is exactly what small cars of that era were designed around.

Which cars use 165/70 R13 tyres?
We list this size against a spread of small hatchbacks from the period, including the Citroen Saxo and the Peugeot 206. On a car of this age, check what is actually fitted rather than relying on the handbook, since wheels are often swapped over a long life. The size is stamped on the sidewall of the tyres you have, or enter your registration above and we will match it.
Comparing 165 70 R13 tyres before you buy
Our handy tyre guide allows you to assess the fuel economy, road handling and even the noise of each tyre we stock. And we can also tell you whether a tyre is intended for summer, winter or all-season use.
Those figures come from the tyre label, which grades fuel efficiency, wet grip and noise on a standard scale so you can compare models like for like. On a narrow tread, the wet grip grade is the one most worth weighing. Our help and advice section explains what each grade means in practice.
All prices are inclusive of fitting and VAT, so the price you see is the price you pay. Our friendly and helpful team of experts fits around two million tyres each year, and are always happy to advise you on which tyre is best suited to your requirements.
The tyres you choose will be checked, fitted, tracked and tested at one of our friendly local garages before you drive away. We want you to have the utmost confidence that your tyres are well-fitted and reliable.

Frequently Asked Questions
On the outer sidewall, moulded into the rubber as 165/70 R13, followed by the load index and speed rating. You will also see a four-digit code showing the week and year of manufacture, which is worth knowing on an older car: rubber hardens with age whether or not the car is being driven. Bring it in and our fitters will read both off for you.
Not always, but they should be replaced in axle pairs so grip is matched across the front or the rear. A new tyre alongside a worn one on the same axle makes handling unpredictable in the wet. On a car of this age, if the whole set is the same vintage, doing all four at once usually works out better value than two separate visits and keeps the car balanced. Our fitters will measure each one and tell you what genuinely needs doing.
Three, and the choice really comes down to how much of the year you drive. Cover most of your miles in the warmer months and 165/70 R13 summer tyres are the sensible default, using a harder compound that runs smoothly and economically on dry and wet roads above roughly 5 to 7°C. Drive through the cold regardless of weather and 165/70 R13 winter tyres earn their keep, holding a softer compound and a deeper tread that grips and brakes on snow, ice and standing water. Want one set that does neither job perfectly but both adequately, without the twice-yearly changeover? That is 165/70 R13 all season tyres. Stock in this size shifts with the season, so check the search tool above or ask your local garage.
