Armstrong BLU-TRAC PC2 175/70 R13
The Armstrong BLU-TRAC PC2 175/70 R13 is a passenger tyre developed for compact sedans, hatchbacks and small family cars approved for this size. Its asymmetric tread pattern is designed to combine dependable road contact, wet-weather drainage and stable everyday handling for city and highway driving.
Longitudinal grooves work together with lateral channels to move water away from the tyre's contact area. Multiple sipes and gripping edges support traction and braking control when the road surface is wet, dusty or otherwise less predictable.
The asymmetric design gives the inner and outer tread sections different responsibilities. The inner section supports drainage, while the more rigid outer shoulder provides additional support during cornering, lane changes and highway manoeuvres.
Taller-Profile Ride Comfort
The 70-profile sidewall gives the 175/70 R13 useful cushioning over rough road surfaces, expansion joints and damaged city streets. Its 175 mm tread width provides a stable contact area while the taller sidewall helps preserve ride comfort.
This combination makes the size suitable for drivers who prioritise a comfortable, composed ride without giving up predictable everyday steering and road stability. Correct tyre pressure and wheel alignment remain important because a taller sidewall can be more sensitive to underinflation.
The 175/70 R13 size should only be installed on vehicles approved for this specification and where the tyre's load index and speed rating meet or exceed the manufacturer's requirements.
BLU-TRAC PC2 Technology
Armstrong BLU-TRAC PC2 Tread Technology
Asymmetric passenger tread. The BLU-TRAC PC2 uses different tread structures across its inner and outer sections. The inner area supports water drainage and wet-road traction, while the more rigid outer area supports steering response, cornering stability and controlled road contact.
Wet-road drainage channels. Longitudinal grooves and connected lateral channels provide pathways for water to move away from the tyre's contact area, helping the tread maintain more consistent contact with wet road surfaces and reducing the likelihood of aquaplaning.
Reinforced shoulder ribs. Larger and more stable outer shoulder elements support the tyre under cornering loads, helping the vehicle remain predictable during turns, lane changes and normal highway manoeuvres.
Multiple sipes and gripping edges. Fine cuts and tread edges create additional contact points between the rubber and the road. These support traction and braking control, particularly when the surface is wet, dusty or slick.
Stable road contact. The tread blocks are arranged to support a consistent contact footprint during normal driving. This contributes to predictable steering response, balanced handling and more uniform wear when the tyre is correctly maintained.
Road-focused radial construction. The radial construction is intended for passenger-vehicle use, combining everyday ride comfort with the structural stability required for city roads, regular highway travel and normal family-car operation.
Controlled road noise. The road-oriented tread arrangement is designed to manage the sound created as individual tread blocks meet the road. Actual cabin noise will also depend on road texture, vehicle insulation, tyre pressure, wear condition and driving speed.
Wear management. The asymmetric, non-directional layout can support regular front-to-rear and cross-rotation schedules where the vehicle configuration permits. Correct inflation, wheel alignment, suspension condition and scheduled rotation remain essential for achieving even wear.
Tread-wear indicators. Moulded tread-wear indicator bars provide a visible reference for checking when the tread is approaching its replacement point. Tyres should also be inspected for cracking, cuts, bulges, puncture damage and irregular wear.

Understanding Tyre Size 175/70 R13 / How to Read Tyre Size
Vehicles with 175/70 R13 Tyre Size
What does 175/70 R13 mean?
175/70 R13 is the tyre size.
175 is the maximum width of the tyre in milimetres(mm). When the vehicle is fully loaded its width can expand maximum upto 175 milimetres(mm).
70 is the ratio among width and height of the tyre from its rim. it means that the height of the tyre is precisely 70% of the 175mm. Lower ratio improves road grip, but it reduces comfort to some extent.
R – refers to the method the tyre is produced. The letter “R” is found on all modern car tyres. It indicates the radial structure of tyre cosntructed with steel wires.
13 represents the diameter of the rim. It is a measurement in inches(“). This number should be rememberd as it is the measurement of the rims. It has to match exactly to what is mentioned in the car manual.
