13" Tires?

[angliagt]

                      I need new tires for our Cortina wagon.I'm looking for

185/60R13 / 185/70R13/205/60R13.

                There doesn't seem to be much selection for good handling

tires.I've found Kuhmo,which I believe are made in China,& Falken,which

I don't know where they're made.

                Any thoughts,or suggestions?

A friend found tires for his bug eye sprite at costco. I think they were 13" Michelins. This was a couple of months ago.

Short of spendy race tires your choices are very limited in that size. Where did you find the Kuhmos and Falkens at? Do they actually have them in stock? I have two Yokohamas and two Federals because that was all I could find after Sumitomo pulled most of its 13's from the U.S.

13" are a dying breed here in the States, still readily available in the U.K.

sumitomo htr. search it

Sumitomo HTR IIs are great tires.  The regular HTR blow chunks.  I ran the IIs on my Miata, had mad grip.  The HTRs were like hockey puck material.  Hard and unforgiving.

           I found a few other tires at "Tires-Easy.com"

          

 

              Cooper Trendsetter SE

 

              Bridgestone Potenza RE740

 

              Toyo Extensa A/S

 

                    Any knowledge of these tires?

                              I found them at Tire Rack.I found out that

Kuhmos are made in China - I'd buy them only as a last resort.

But Kumho makes decent tires...

Futura, I think it is the Pepboys brand.

Check with some of the local race shops, they have access to tires in the less common sizes for the Vintage crowd. Sometimes there are spec class tires. Formula ford, Formula V, etc...
