Something to consider as nearly impossible to find any decent 13" tires.

That's quite neatly done, as the overall "look" is pretty much the same!

There is a number of options for period looking 9.00-13 tyres though; Trelleborg, Alliance and BKT for instance.....but in all honesty, they are all Implement tyres, so if you are after a DOT tyre, than you would have to look at other options.
