OMG!
Looking further, the 215/60-14 and 225/60-14 sizes are also back! (Sorry, no 195/60 or 205/60) As are various lower-diameter 15" sizes.
Dang, and I was just shopping large diameter 14" tires on FRIDAY and I didn't see this pop up.
I have two cars that the 13s would be perfect for, and they NEED to be raised white letter because of reasons. It is hard to overstate my satisfaction.
Yay. I'm glad I don't need to do an Australian fitment on the RX3.
Woo hoo! One step closer to the 175/70-13 coming back, which is what I really need for my Spitfire and GT6. Unfortunately, while the diameter is good, a 205 is a bit too wide for front fender/bonnet clearance. However, this should make TR7/8 owners should be happy. 205 tires fit well on those.
The 205/60r13 radial have been in production in Mexico so it will be nice to get them other places. Could be a great tire for our corvair if it ever gets back to road worthy.
In reply to Ian F :
If someone made a V rated 225/60-14 and 215/60-14, hundreds of Series 1 Esprit owners would beat a path to their door.
Well, dozens, anyway. A few. Okay, it's not a big market...

THOON

Please tell me these wouldn't look very good on a Neon...

I can't lie, and I consider you a friend, which doubly means I can't lie to you:
Your Neon would look AWESOME with a set of these.
My dad used these br60-13 radial ta for ice racing on our corvair

Yeah... I spent a couple minutes with Gimp roughly editing a picture to confirm that. Now I have to measure how much tire I can stuff in there now that the spring perches are gone...
$123 each? Damn!

Summit wanted $153, and then there was a $50 coupon for online orders over $500, and then I would get money back in Summit Bucks. But they only have two in stock nationwide and four would be backordered until October. I checked Tire Rack's site and realized it was cheaper to buy from them than Summit even after all the coupons and cash back.
Plus I ordered online at 2pm yesterday. They showed up at 10am today. That's incredible.
In reply to snailmont5oh :
Such are the laws of supply and demand. I'd happily pay that much for those tires in 175/70-13 (I'd buy two sets plus a couple of spares), despite the fact that is nearly 3x the price of other tires Tirerack sells in that size.
Now I just need them to do some 12” for my Festiva!
Oh hell yes. BFG hitting my nostalgia buttons HARD. Here's a pic of my 1985 Accord in about 1989 or so wearing a set of Radial T/As:
In reply to Tom_Spangler :
That is so weirdly cool.
They're not radials. But Nankang had a call for 13" sizes from the old school racer community so they're bringing 13" sizes over in their 100TW tire. Which i thought was cool and info that should be shared here.
Wow. Also, bummed they don't offer these for my 911.

Good thing I still have the 13s for the CRX!
In reply to Tom_Spangler :
I wish I had a picture of my '82 Subaru 4WD wagon with white wagon wheels and RWL Radial T/A's.
In reply to Keith Tanner :
Did the CRX run the 205/60 size or the 175/70 size?
295/50R15.

I remember those in stock when I worked at Pep Boys back in the late 80's. They seemed so huge.
