I know this discussion has come up recently about where to get 13" tires. I was at the British show yesterday and picked up a Universal Vintage Tire Co catalog. In it there are several companies that offer them.......
Vredestein.. 145, 155, 165, 205/60 and 640/700 black wall
BFG...640-13, 725-13 white wall
Silvertown...155/80, 165/80, 175/80, 185/80 white wall
Firestone....520, 560 white wall
US Royal...650 black wall

Hopefully this helps some of you that are searching.

When shopping for tyres it often helps who the heck still makes a 13"
There are several listed on this site that are not listed on other sites.
 
Another Brand for 13" Tires

I heard about another brand that carries 13" tires - Milestar Tires. Here is a link to their home website - www.milestartire.com. Good luck finding a dealer, though. I could not find any local dealers (South Bay) carrying the tires I might have been interested in.
 
The milestar whitewalls are the ones dale A recommends aren't they? Perhaps as a guy in the industry he can get them direct?
 
Maxxis MA-1 tires look ok and come with a whitewall. They make a 185/80R13 which is about 1/2" taller than original Tiger tires.

I don't have these on my car but found them while researching 13" options with whitewalls. Ended up with bias ply tires which look the part but leave a lot to be desired while cornering.
 
I currently run 185/70R13 solus kr21 on my stock wheels. Even though I have no complaints with kumho tires, I'm thinking of getting the redlines or whitewalls on my next tire change.
