Looking around for tires, but not a lot offered out there, it appears. Curious where to buy 13" tires.

I run a set of mags with 15s. That way I can run disc brakes and actually stop the car.

Simple Tire has a lot but i dont know what profile you need.
Check on line for a conversion from orig size to metric. Don’t fall for the
185 70 13 size Americas Tire wants to sell you. Its way to “short”

I imagine Coker has some overpriced and not very good tires with the orig size designation.

Google the modern metric size and they’ll pop up on suppliers you never heard of, with brands you never heard of.
Not a very good selection in the size you need.
I put 15” rims on and run 205 65 15 with discs.
