Anyone know somewhere I can get a couple of 185 X 60 X 13 tires? Preferably new. Thanks.

Thanks, works out just about $700 cdn for 2 tires…

I’ll keep looking but thanks for the lead, I had heard that 13” tires were like rocking horse poop, just maybe some truth to that..

Thanks Brett, I’ll take a look. I also found a company in the States called Priority Tire, selling Tornel 205 60 13 tires, never heard of them and these are a little wider than I wanted for the Mk1 but at $130 each which includes shipping is either a good deal or an indication that they are shite…..

I had 205 60s on both my MK1 V8 Cortinas without a problem.

Found a couple through a local wheel expert. Thanks.
Ps. Several around, shipping seems to be the main expense.
I have 205 60 13’s on my Mk1 Gt and my MK2 Gt, MK2 is fine, Mk1 rubs the front inner fender seam on the odd occasion. If I was brave I’d try and bend up the inner seam ala Lotus, but I don’t want to crack the paintwork.
