13" Tires
Just came across some street 13" tires that look they could work well for a 1st gen RX7. Federal 595 SS in 180-60-13 appears to be about the same size as the Toyo R888 205-60-13. The 13" tires are 460 tread wear, kind of close to the Sumitomos everyone loved. The bigger sizes are 240-260 tread wear. It is also $35 at Online Tires. I wouldn't recommend it as a performance tire (there are toyos, hankooks, hoosiers, etc for that), but it looks like it might be a good street tire that looks more aggressive than the skinny 13" tires that are typically available these days. I am thinking of getting a set as rain tires for my ITA RX7. Probably not great, but would have to be way better than Hankook Z214's.
According to the Federal website, there is also a 205-60-13 available, but I didn't see them at Online. I have seen posts elsewhere that they are used on Legends cars, so might be able to buy them through Legends car parts suppliers.

OK. I just talked to the guy at Westend Racing in Arcata, CA. He said that he would sell Federal 595 in 205-60-13 as a Legends car tire. He also said it should be no problem getting them from U.S. Legends West in Las Vegas. For that matter, they should be available from any of the supplier listed at the URL in my previous post.
