Has anyone else have trouble finding 13 inch tires for their Pinto? Thanks!

Yepper! 13" tires are being phased out, nearly no one here in Boise or Meridian, Idaho, carry them in any variety anymore. I cannot find whitewalls like I was hoping, for my 73 station wagon, so I settled for a regular tire.

Online they are available, but locally, at least for me, they are a pain to locate.

It took me about 5 months to get a pair for my car in white wall. Those that carried them were in black wall. I did see that ebay has them from time to time so you may want to check there.

I finally got my tires from Ohio, (EBAY) whitewalls too. No one around here carries 13 inch tires, and some 14 inch are getting scarce. I have the tires on the car and they work great!
