I wish I had a picture of my '82 Subaru 4WD wagon with white wagon wheels and RWL Radial T/A's.

Did the CRX run the 205/60 size or the 175/70 size?
Tire Rack says it was a 175/30-13. I'm running 205/50-15 on it now for the street, but those wheels are just sitting around and it would be weird not to have race tires for everything...

Likewise, with my '88 wagon, although I think it had 195/70 Dunlops. Sadly one got a shifted belt, and I was broke, and my service manager found a set of 175/80 Tiempos for $25 each in 1997...
They have a very good selection of 14's also (a bit hard to find these days).
I always thought of these tires as a bit low on traction. Am I wrong?
It was a real pain finding replacements for my AVS Intermediates, and there does not appear to be anything like that in 14 anymore. I ended up with Federals, which are OK, but clearly not AVS's.

Yeah, honestly they weren't great tires. They looked cool, which is why 19-year-old me bought them, but they were a classic "tweener" all-season tire that wasn't much good in the summer OR winter. My then-girlfriend (now wife) also had them on her 4-banger 87 Mustang. Pretty exciting in the snow with those tires and no LSD.....
I honestly don't see buying any nowadays. RWL tires look good on some Rad-era cars, but 944s are not among them.

They are more fashion tires than performance tires. They have floppy sidewalls and are rated 360/A/B.
My main experience with tires of this style was with Eagle STs, which were decent drag tires in the days before drag radials. You could get them to launch harder with a good rubber-boiling burnout.

Pfft. I'm now shopping 15s for the 911....

Pics plz
I don't think they were bad tires for the era and the cars they were typically fitted to. I want them for my Spitfire and GT6, which are both about at the same level of performance. And a side-wall compliance wouldn't do either of those cars any harm.

I think 13" AR-1s are roughly the same price
235/45R13 are $145 for AR-1s
The blue is some seriously impervious sh...tuff. The hose won't touch it, scrubbing with a hand mop and hot water didn't touch it. Was going to take it to the coin-op and spend $5 to pressure wash soap at them, but my FC 13B decided to make like an FC 13B and eat a coolant seal, and I didn't want to take the chance of the car glugging on its own juices at the car wash when I tried to leave.

Bleech-Wite and a scrub brush always works for me.
What I need is some 185/60X13's for my Mk I Fiesta!
