MI Tires: where to get 'em GEN 1

I bought an '84 GS from the original owner with 15 year old tires. I'm going to keep the original rims. The only tires I can find 185/70 R13 are on Tirerack.com.
Kumho Solus KR21 and Sumitomo HTR 14, both around $50. Any recomendations on either tire or where to go to get better/different tires? This will be a strictly street rod driven for fun and pushed just a little bit, I live in MI if that makes a difference. Thanks

I have the Kumho Solus on my 67 Datsun Roadster. Can't beat the price and good enough for cruising around. Don't expect too much though.

I've been using the Sumitomo HTRs for a couple of years now. They perform well, and you can't beat the price. Last set I bought at Belle Tire (but call around, I got three different prices from three different stores, over $150.00 difference between them).

Last year I ran 205/60/13, but this year moved up to 214/50/13 and love them....
