Hey,

I'm building a race car for school and was wondering if anyone knew where I could get racing tires? around 13 to 10inches.

Find the tires you want, and order through one of our many tire sponsors.
I suggest a quick Google.

And what do you mean 10 to 13 inches? Are you building a drag car?

As above, I would look into what tires you would like first, also get your rims first. Is that 10" wide? Or are you talking diameter?
I would also look at what you want the overall diameter to be based on your gearing to ensure that you don't waste a shift. No one likes shifting at 50' before the line

The main thing is what kind of car.
Drag ( AFC, pro street ect. )
Rally
NASCAR
F1
Circuit ( I don't know the actual name. )

We're looking for 13/7.5/11 endurance tires. Mostly for turning and braking testing. Anyone recommend a brand and vendor? Google has only given me goodyear so far.

13/7.5/11 ?

are you sure you have that correct? seems like a very bizarre tire.
what sort of vehicle/chassis is it being fitted to?

Those are slick tire sizes so they don't follow the same specs as the DOT tires we daily use.

You can check out hoosier tires. Those are affordable and last quite a little while (depends on how you drive)

Is this for something like a Formula SAE car? If so, I think there's a site where they post all the tire test.

SAE cars mainly use Hoosier, Goodyear, Avon, Michellin
