Just out of curiosity spurred on by this thread and cbergeron's new set of tires, I've been searching the net for the skinniest set of wheels and tires around.

DOT approved (legal):
Firestone F560 125/?/15



Classic tire from www.cokertire.com

Width ~4.92"
Max PSI unknown (~35?)

Temporary (illegal)
Continental 105/95 r17



Width ~4.13"
Max PSI unknown

As far as I've found, the skinniest tire (in mm) per rim size is:

Legal
13" - 155
14" - 117 (?)
15" - 135
16" - ?
17" - ?

Illegal
13" - ?
14" - 117 (?)
15" - 115
16" - 115
17" - 105

If anyone is aware of smaller sizes, feel free to post.
