I’d much rather drive my mom’s tiny 1994 Nissan Sentra. Sure it ain’t got airbags, hell the seatbelts done went to shit even. Fuck, tire shops laugh when we try to find 13 inch tires for it, we can only get boat trailer tires for it these days.
But the car is so small, it maneuvers almost like a souped up go-kart, and you can see everything around you. And honestly, I feel safer in a smaller maneuverable car with no functioning seatbelts, as long as I can at least see my surroundings.
besides the convenience of fitting well inside parking spaces and the better fuel efficiency… when you were shopping for tires they were the cheapest in the store, and often by a wide margin–as they used those little tires in the advertisements to mislead customers needing larger and much more profitable sizes.
For whatever it’s worth, I appreciate the thought and the offer, but we’re good. We live on the Gulf Coast, so there’s no shortage of boat trailer tires around the area.
It just gets kinda awkward silly weird when we tell them to install boat trailer tires on the car, they tend to get a bit of a chuckle, like when was the last time anyone saw a car with 13 inch tires anymore? 😂

The Sentra is 4x100. You could easily find cheap, used wheels that will fit modern tire sizes.
Let me know if you want help.
Tbh I even have a set of 15" 4x100 steelies that I’m not using. lol
