Saw a baja running on 13'' 'trailbusters' in Maritzburg which was for sale at R10k - baja that was. Almost bought the baja just for the 13s!!

When I put the 14' Puma rims on HW1, I really sukkeled getting wide tyres, so it might be even more difficult for 13' wheels?

I have 13" trial dusters on the front of my buggy. Struggled my but off and the best I could get was 185 wide tyres. I know the cortina guys used to get 205 x 13 back in the days, but seems not anymore.
