Dull Men's Club
An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

Not sure where you are but 13" are still available. Canadian tire has abut 6 brands that size.
Umm, no. Those are AI generated images. You'd know a 13" rim if you saw it and thought to yourself that's like the size of kids' bicycle tires. And even those are usually 14"
Edit: Mom's tires and rims are 175/70 SR13
That's because tire companies probably don't take product photos of every single tire they've ever made. If they come out with a new model they simply render out a few "standard tire" pictures, and slap that on all listings of that type of tire, no matter the exact dimensions. Cause let's be honest, in mist cases seeing the profile is a lot more interesting than seeing the exact dimensions of the rim...
I know the images are fake but the 13 inch tires are available they show 155/80R13 on that site but canadawheels.ca has 175/70
Yeah, about that..
I know they exist and can be ordered, but boat trailer tires cost half as much, exactly the same size, and she barely drives it even once a month anymore.
Is it really worth ordering tires, when we live on the coast and equal size boat trailer tires are readily available at half the price?..
Saving money is always good, but aren't boat trailer tires a different stiffness and grip?
I had 13" on an old Hyundai
Also just type 175/70r13 into amazon, they will bring them to your door. The amazon guy might hate you though if you ordered 4
Meh, it's not like we live in a snowy or muddy area, and on average, the car probably sees less than 20 road miles a month. Hell, the struts are long ago shot and the doors are starting to rust off the thing, the least of the worries is the tire stiffness.
Mom just wants to keep the car running well enough to make it to the local grocery store and to the doctor once or twice a month. It definitely ain't going back on the interstate anymore, save for a true emergency, and even then it shouldn't have to go on the interstate.
Well +1 for extending the life of it, and not wasting resources by buying something brand new
Oh, I do actually order and install new parts on her car too, as necessary anyways. You know, new brake pads and rotors, new fuel filter and fuel lines, new radiator...
What's weird about her car is just how well the engine and transmission still run, its like a fucking racecar LOL!
I keep trying to convince her to sell it for parts and get another vehicle, but I think she just doesn't give a shit anymore as long as her current vehicle still runs.. 🤷
