What are you doing with the car is it a daily driver, or a weekend warrior, or what?

Its just a cruiser for the weekend. Not fast driving, although it does have a V8!!

How wide is your rim?

Dunno, they are stock rims

Here is a link to some NOS 13 inch wheels that are going to sell on eBay tomorrow. This may give you a better tire selection if they are wider than your stock wheels.

From Hollander Interchange it looks like your factory wheels are 4 1/2 wide so the Rocket Wheels would be 1/2 inch wider.

I just looked for tires. Found two locally. Goodyear Marathons 185-80R13 for about $80 ea. at Walmart and Big-O. Another tire shop had some Carltons 185-80R13 for $59 and could order in a Prestige 185-80R13 for $82. One shop had some Merits in a 175-80R13 for $77. There are several who still make a 175-70R13.

I think the Goodyears are a trailer tire. Does that matter?

Yes, they tend to come part under steering and traction because they are for trailing only. Also most of the time they won't take or keep a balance.

Ya, I never noticed the Marathon was a trailer tire. Probably why they are in stock at Walmart. No good for a car.
I stole this from the other thread I replied in.
I am running 165-80-13's up front and new 185-70-13 Kumho tires on the rear.
The 185-70-13's are pretty cheap at Discounttire. They are like $35 each.
I think those are your best bet with tires now. I did alot of research before I bought tires and I come to find out that not much people make 13" tires any more. Also I found out most companies that are selling there 13" tires have them for pretty high prices.
Good luck on the search!

I ended up getting Maxxis MA-1 175/80/13 at Firestone. Not bad and they have white walls.

I recently bought a set of whitewall Hankooks in your size from Discount Tire. It was the only 13" brand I could find that wasn't a trailer tire.
