Subject: Re: 13 inch tires (what good ones are available?)
Jim,

I could find *nothing* for my car in 13" that was worthwhile at all.
Besides the fact that the rims are very skinny, 13" tires are just
hard to locate.  Sears sells their "Guardsmen" tire for $33/ea in that
size.  I'm sure a local tire shop has them as well.  But its a little
scary to ride on those cookie cutters  ;) 

I went with a 14x6 rim and got 215/60/14s, or lots do 205/70/14,
assuming you can find/get SBP rims you like in 14"

Hope that helps!

MJ

Re: 13 inch tires (what good ones are available?)

CR60-13 michilin radials, Sears sold them in the 1970's...might have 
trouble finding them now

Talk about cornering, my 67 dart GT would scrape the rocker panels 
around a 90 corner, at speed,
no tire squeal....

The next time i needed tires, they were not available.

Changed to 14" mags,  FR70-14 front, GR60-14 rear...looked better, 
handled better, tires available.

the new sizes would be about a 235-70 and a 255-60 best guess...

guess i'm stuck in the past, just checked...the 13" wheels that were 
around and in the way for years...
must of finally got pitched...couldn't find them....

The Dart left a few years ago...another mistake

13 inch wheels...if the car needs them for collecter status...save them 
and put some practical wheels
and tires on it...
