Radial TA tires wanted

Good evening. old member coming back to ask a question. My 85' GS is getting a much needed paint job. I've seen several cars with radial TA tires (raised white letters) that appear to be on the original Mazda rims. Where can I purchase a set?

I moved the thread into he 1st Gen section.

Coker Tire carries RWL tires and has in the past for our cars. Nothing on their website for our cars in RWL at the moment unfortunately. They can be very difficult to find.

BFG started selling the Radial T/A in 205/60R13 again a couple years ago. (I guess it was always still around in Mexico, they just restarted US sales)

They're still on the Tire Rack website, still $138 each, rx7club forum software is mangling the URL so I can't provide a direct link.

I hope this works, go here and then search by size.

Yup. They fit just fine and look awesome on cross AND waffle wheels.
