I did find them available on http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...05&ar=60&rd=14 (sorry for the long link, on my phone) I actually thought they discontinued them since I wasn't able to find them on the main site.

What about the Toyo Proxes? Tire Rack has 205/60 13 in RA-1 and R888.

I'll be buying some Falken Sincera SN-828s for my GSL tomorrow. They're $62 each at Discount Tire. Eventually I'll buy some new wheels but these will have to do for now.

Add summer performance in 205/60R13 and its no longer to be found. My COBRAs
are not performance tires and they stopped making them shortly after I bought 5
of them. Go figure.

Those would be for a track car. They won't work well when it's raining or cold (Toyo lists their operating temperature starting at 160F), and they'll wear out quickly if driven every day.
