I am a happy man. I've gone to reknown tyre franchises looking for new tyres - 185/70R13's to be exact. They tell me you can't get them as they are not made any more so I was going to go for 205's which mean a wider tyre so more rolling resistance. I took one more shot and went to a small tyre shop and they had them as they sell ALL tyre brands, the other shops only sell THEIR brands. At $89 per tyre fitted and balanced I was very pleased. I also managed to find wheel bolts that where longer to suit the mags. So $356 (tyres) + $56 (bolts) + $100 (mags) = $512 all up, very nice!
