Their site does not seem to show any 13" tires in that series, smallest appears to begin at 
14"?

They did show 185/70-13 in their R23 series.

I found Toyo Proxes R888's, a little over $100 each and only 6/32's tread depth.
I'm wondering how many sets I need to buy in advance, performance 13" tires seem to be 
on the verge of obsolete.
