Tires getting a little harder to find

[bassman]

I found out Walmart stoped selling 12'' winter tires and the guy said that all season may be out within the next 2 years ..
Tire shops have nothing on the shelf but can order them.
I did find a set of goodyear blizzak at Canadian Tire for $32 each.
I run a set of summer and winter tires so I hope this set will outlive the car .
but I do have 2 parts cars and I am looking at another one so I may have to up the rims to 13''

I had to buy tires for mine also. Had to order them. I had to call five or six tire stores before I was referred to a store that could order them. Cost me thirty bucks a tire plus another forty for ann alignment. How would you change to a 13" wheel?

just find a 13" wheel that shares the 4x114.3 lug pattern and you should be all set.

that is the dumbest looking ride ever... I LOVE IT
I bet that thing sticks to the road with them??
what are a couple of common cars that would have rims that would fit??

That I don't know, I am sure you could find stealies easier than wheels however with the spacing and size you need but I may be wrong.

Walmart here in Ottawa insists on balancing for which they get an extra $8 or so per tire.
When I was a student I used to buy cheap tires from auto wreckers.

80 to 89 323 wheels should work.

Here's a link that contains yet another link for different wheels.

I was lucky enough to find early 80's Datsun/Nissan 13" steel wheels and then I got 4 P155/80R13 tires from Sears for $23.00 apiece.

Hope this helps.
