I agree. But where can you buy decent 13 in tires.
I'm looking for 185x70x13. I need 5 for me Pie Mags.
I have Firestone after intensive web searches.
Any suggestions will be gratefully accepted.

Yes, and those were original tires if I remember. Frankly, that is just
asking for an accident.
Tires over 6 years old, are old tires, regardless of the tread left on the
tires.
So, $400 or so for a new set of tires vs a real problem.
Do you know how old your tires are, that is the production date molded on the
tire, not when your purchased it.
