Wondering if anyone would know where I could come up with a single 155/80 13 Falken Sincera tire. I only ordered 4 and have ruined one.

While I'm at it I would like to warn the rest of you away from the 13 inch tubes Moss is selling right now. I was running a 13/14/15 Chinese tube that seem to be the only ones commonly sold now. Failed due to chaffing on a sticker that I overlooked so I though it just the right opportunity to fit the 13" tube's Moss is offering. The one size fits all Chinese tubes are about as thick as balloon's used to be but the Moss
tube's are about the thickness of what condom's used to be!:playful:
Anyway the tube went flat at 50 miles in heavy traffic and did major damage to the tire before I could get safely out of traffic. Close examination showed a manufacturing flaw that looked like a bunch of barely melted little ball's of rubber that, of course, separated.
If you are inclined to throw away your old Dunlop tubes I'll happily pay the freight to ship them to me!!

I got my Sinceras from here: https://www.tires-easy.com/index.html Don't see them on their website anymore, but might be worth a call to see if they could order one. Lots of listings for Sincera 807s on the internet, but all seem to be in the UK and I imagine you could buy 4 new tires here for the price of shipping one Sincera from the UK
 
It kinda looks like Falken has dropped the 13 inch tire like so many others but I suppose a direct call might do the job and Trevors idea of moving up the ladder might net a better tube. As of now I am running the one size fits all. I'll do a little more checking but have no time right now.

Yeah..I agree with above....check with Moss first.

If nothing else ~Coker~ may be able to help.
 
Thanks, Ray, I'm going to see if the seller will ship to the US. If so the Dunlop tube is worth a bid.

I suppose contacting Moss would be a good idea but can't see them doing anything other than a refund for the tube. What I want is a Falken tire to match the set!
