This site is quite interesting (http://www.onlinetires.com/user/vehicle/tires/allbrands.html 
). I have not seen it before that I recall.

I just got off the phone with one of their sales people who tells me  
they are in the LA area, with a Cerritos, CA mailing address. They do  
have stock on the Maxxis 185/80-13 (25) and the Hankook (64) he wasn't  
sure of the Firestone. He said the Maxxis is not a private label, but  
an independent. I'd never heard of it before.

The very interesting 245/75-13 Kumho (yes, I'm serious, it is listed  
on their web page) is not available. He said it was produced, then  
discontinued. I can't imagine what this was used for, maybe some  
Japanese truck or something, mathematically it would be 27.47" in  
diameter, about 2" larger than a 7.00-13!!!

As you shop for tires for your Corvair, keep in mind the diameters of  
stock Corvair tires:

6.50-13 - about 24.5"

7.00-13 - about 25.3"
