    13" tyres are difficult to come by in the right size, people have now gone over to 185/60r13 which is a bit easier to source

    The problem you have is when you do find some for sale they'll be old tyres, even if they've been unused

    I saw these today whilst looking for 13" tyres for my Fiat.

    Don't know how well these would fit the width of the 5J5 wheel. The old MXV's had a very convex side wall and were intended for 5J5. Would these very highly rated Toyo Proxes CF2 may need a 6J or 6J5??
