Hi All!
The 21" original tires on my 2002 E825 Gem are coming to the end of their days.
Does anyone have any recommendations of what and where to buy new tires? I have hub caps and original rims on them so won’t need to buy new rims, only tire is fine by me.
Thanks, Everyone!
All 99-04 GEMs are badged as “e825”, it’s the descriptor after that which tells you what the vehicle is. 2-seat, shortback, longback, 4-seat, narrow…
Stock size for a 2002 is 165/70R12 (21.1" tall)
I always had good luck with the Nanking 155/80R12 tires. While there is a slight size difference, they are a smidge taller at 21.8" and a bit narrower, it’s probably not enough to make a difference. The Nanking tires just seemed to hold up better on my 02 longback (2seat with the 5’ or 6’ bed) for whatever reason.
YMMV.
