Bought a Ford Capri a week ago, need a couple of tyres so called in to see my favourite tyre place today. Apart from all the internet in Oban has gone down apparently, she doubts whether tyres of that size are available any more.
Tried Halfords as well and same story there.
At one time 13" wheels/tyres were probably the most popular size, now I can't get a replacement short of maybe something Chinese.
(Can still get Toyo R888R apparently but I wouldn't risk them on a Capri, did provide sideways entertainment in the wet on a Caterham).

Black Circles has Vredestein Sprint Classics in that size which are quite a nice heritage looking tyre. Not cheap though!

Maybe play with the sizes on there, go a bit taller or wider?

Add the words rally tyres and you should get a few more hits.

Camskill are showing a Radar Dimax Classic in that size for £55.

No experience of them, and only know they're manufactured mostly in Asia and Serbia, and they're not particularly good in the wet.

Maybe something from TyreReviews list is still available?
