I was gone has different sites.

I find pizza pan cover size needed.

I found 280 and 320 millimeters. they are small.

would need 360 or 380 millimeters.

I found 14 steel wheels.
I have to go see if they are good.

I am thinking how to make the cubirta. make cardboard to try first.

From the tires available in the EU, and regardless of the (self-reported...) labels, the tire tests that I have seen usually pick the Michelin Energy Saver as the one with the lowest rolling resistance. They also last "forever". They don't have a lot of grip in the wet though. It's a trade-off.

here you can not get the tires 13 " vx the honda .

I found a steel wheels 13 " with tires 175 / 70R13 Michelin energy .

Can be better than wheels 14 " ?

tires 15 " are less heavy. but are more uncomfortable in potholes. I do not like anything. Is it the superior weight of the tire ?

already know.

I tested the tires michelin energy . have a good compromise in grip. Wet grip is enough for my driving . there are other brands with more grip.
are the tires that last more . are higher priced .

I think those Imola seven hole wheels from the Mini are 12lbs a piece, which is over 2 lbs heavier than the 13" VX alloys. So even though the 15" tire might be slightly lihter, one or two pounds, the net effect is even. And the weight on the 15" diameter wheel is distributed further from the hub, increasing its rotational mass effect. All that said, I miht choose the Imolas if I had the choice to make again. -james

Here in the netherlands they tested the summer tires recently. And also included some llr tires. The results are remarkeble. I will include the list. It is in dutch but the collums say. Price. Dry. Wet. Sound. FE. Wear. The result for the micheline energy plus are realy good. But are somewhat downgraded because of the wet grip in comparison with full treaded tires. Not a problem for me. The sice is 185/60 14 btw. And i found the micheline tire for my sice 155/75 13 for 61€. Will order in the next weeks

I already have the 13" steel wheels. I would prefer a 14 15" steel wheel. But i cost alot more. Also i want a bigger diameter. Also the 13" tires are cheaper.
