Where can I buy some tires?
Simple enough, I'm just looking for replacement tires for my 79'. Stock rims and everything. I can't find anywhere online to buy good tires for it. (Also, stock size aftermarket rims would be nice if they exist.)

I just bought a set of Kuhmo tires for my 85 off of Amazon. They were the original 185/70/13 tire size. Came two days after I ordered them.

BF Goodrich has Radial TAs in 205/60x13 at TireRack or any other tire place that will work well and give you period correct RWL on the sidewall.

Thumbs up for the RWL Goodrich. That's what I'm going with when the time comes.

205/13s Vredsteins via TireRack...on stock Goldie waffles. Not cheapest, but hoping for better grip.

Those were great tires back in the day. Even now they are rated better than the T/As but no RWL

205/13s Vredsteins are at Tire Rack? Tire Rack use to have only two DOT tire choices for 13 inch rims. Fantastic ! !

It seems that there are more options now than there were 3-4 years ago.
