Mark,
I agree that the 7.00X13 tires are bigger in circumference than the 
P185/80R13s, but in actuality they both have almost the exact same rolling radius. That 
means they both have the same number of revolutions per mile on the car. So 
in that way the 185/80R13 radial tire IS an exact replacement for the 7.00X13 
tire.
