Chris,
Pirelli, Michelin, Firestone, Kleber, Goodyear and Continental are amongst 
those who still have 145-SR13's  for sale across here in the UK.  There are 
many other smaller makers but Continentals are a rather nice looking 
asymmetrical tread one.

If you want any I'll get a price and sort out shipping them for you. 
Individually, the Pirellis retail around  $100 (oo!) plus shipping.  They 
drop to around $300 for 4.  Continentals are around $5 cheaper for one and 
$270-280 for 4 (still oooo!).

BUT - you'll still have a heck of a problem fitting them on the 14" rims! 
LOL!
