Thanks Jerry.  My Tiger has the 13" Cosmic wheels (like the Harrington has). 
Thus, I have interest in using 13" tires. Though I'm glad you found these 
Formosa tires I see they were $73 plus shipping, plus taxes.  Sadly it seems 
like it wasn't too long ago I was contemplating 205-60-13" Sumitumo 
HTR-200's for $44 each and under $9 to ship (from The Tire Rack). And, at 
that time I had probably seven or so tires to choose from.

My Tiger has been on jackstands for 13 years now.  Maybe half that time ago 
people started talking about 13" tires going away.  I contemplated buying a 
set.  But each year the car sat and I was thankful the tires weren't 
"dating" in the air - yet I was frustrated that the choices became fewer and 
the price higher.  I guess it's like retirement. The longer you work, the 
more money you have. But, the fewer days (and health) to enjoy it.
