Where to buy 165 80 13 tires

I'm looking for some 165 80 13" tires for a non Mazda car. Not sure if any early Mazdas used that size, but I figured that someone here might know where to find decent 13" tires now.

Mazda's tire thing doesn't think that is a valid size,


these are the 165 sizes


i wonder if you'd have better luck by trying the old style tire size?
like 165SR13?

The only tires I'm aware of that come in that size are donut spare tires.

165/80R13 was the tire size for base model SAs. Think steel wheels, two spoke steering wheels, and 4 speed transmissions.

The tire placard on an SA should list both sizes, 165/80 and 185/70R13..

It's also known as 165R13, if that helps.

Oh! It was also the tire size for base model Neons. Because Chrysler gonna Chrysler, the tire placard for ALL Neons listed that size even if the car was built with 14" wheels!
