Greetings from Michigan!
At some point in the future I'm going to be looking to replace the standard Michelins (MXTs?) on my Classic with something a little stickier.
I'd like to stay with 13" and 60 or 70 series tires, but there really appears to be a dearth of available 13" performance tires here, at least as far as I can see.
Most of the tire manufacturers don't even list 13" sizes on their US websites. Are there sources I'm not aware of, or can they be special ordered from overseas suppliers for reasonable cost?
I've read consistently good things about Yoko A021's as an all around tire on Blatchat, so those are near the top of my list if I can find some. But these don't even appear on http://www.yokohamatire.com. I think I read somewhere that A021's in a 185-13 or something were the approved rain tire for the Spec Racer Ford series, so there are at least some coming into this country. Anyone know where the racers might get them from?
Thanks in advance for any insight you all can provide.
Dave
