Is that size critical? Thats a radial racing car size (the 160/535 bit) which are very uncommon is this sort of arena. If you could run say 185/60-13 radial road tyres or 6-21/13 crossply race tyres then you're much more likely to have people falling over themselves to help.

 

My calcleator says 160/535 r13 would be 6.2/21.06-13 in the crossply ACB10 way of quoting sizes in inches. The most common ACB's used in sprinting are, as above, 6-21/13 so virtually identical in size.

 

Details of ACB's on Avons site. Exact sizes for ACB's under race tyres, road legal and 160/530's also listed under race tyres, radial. I also noted it says 160/530 not 535 so best check your numbers are right.
