With a UTQG rating of 420 they are very hard and will still have good tread when they are dry-rotted from age. They are designed for long wear rather than handling.

If you can find it, look for something a bit softer (but you may have to shop in Europe for softer 13" tires).

Yes, I agree. Another Spriter suggested Vredestein T-Trac 2 but can't find a UTQC rating. Do have 165/70R13 or 165/65R13 options.
