The 165 R 13 tire size is closely connected to smaller European cars of the 70s, when many cars transitioned away from fitting crossply tires. A major number of Ford's European automobiles, including the Taunus, Escort, Capri, and Cortina, were equipped with 165 R 13 tires, which were eventually replaced with wider, lower profile tires, such as the 185/70 R 13 PIRELLI CINTURATO CN36, as we moved into the 1980s.

With their tall profile, 165 R 13 (also expressed as 165/80 R 13) tires are the perfect radial alternative to crossply tires in sizes 5.90 13, 6.00 13, or 5.60 13 for automobiles like the Sunbeam Alpine, while models like the Ford Lotus Cortina switched over to 165 R 13 PIRELLI CINTURATO tires during production.
