175/80/13 tires for a 80's plymouth - 05/11/22 07:28 PM

I can only find these tires in trailer tires. The tires on the car are like new but they are 30 plus years old!!!

Advice?

discount tire lists some. and other 13 inch tires.
at least a few were radials. so even if they are trailer tires, it should be better than the bias ply.
down side is none of them are brand names I recognize and they still want a bunch for them.

Coker sells them, you won't like them.

at my local tire shop I used a 185/80/13 Dayton radial tire on my 68Dart that came stock with the 13" wheels. should be able to find a 13" metric car tire without a special order tire

what a lot of the lowrider 64 chebbys use with the 13" Dayton wire wheels and hydro pumps & dumps. got them cheap 80$ a tire.

when I went to 5 on 4.5 axles with 11x2.5 rear drums & R-body 11 front disc rotors with the 15" cop wheels i used a 195/60/15 tire. was same height as the 13" 185/80/13

I also have them order up VW tires for my weld drag skinnys 3.5x15 rim 165/15 radial called a VW tire or V-Dub tire.

If you search ebay you have to type in " p175/80r13, -st ", you have to add minus st or " -st " to not bring up trailer tires.

Go with the Maxxis MA1. I got for my 69 Dart 6 cyl with 13" tires. They are very close to the original overall diameter and speedo is right on and are whitewall like original.
It was sad that could not find any Made in USA 13" tires in right size (only low profile) and these are from Indonesia I think. But they did balance very well and appear to be decent tires.
They are a 80 sidewall, so they do have a good amount of tire roll on turns. If you want performance, then go with a low profile tire. Should be able to find BFG TA in 13"
