I am having problems finding tire info 1988 Renault 4 GTL

[Sepharad]

I apparently need 135 80/13 tires for my R4 L. I live in Portugal and assumed this would be a no brainer from Michelin. I am having very poor luck online.
The car currently has very old 135 70/13 which are even harder to find. I MUST be missing something obvious.

What brand an model 135 80/13 tires are readily available in Europe for these vehicles?

Oscaro have 5 different makes on line , plus any good tyre shop will get you some.
Unfortunately Michelin no longer produce the original tyre

Hi -the last pair of tyres i bought here in Tomar (3 months ago) were 135 80/13 "General' made in Czech Republic. cost 100Euros the pair (pre pandemic cost 70). They've worn pretty well & i think they are widely available. Best of luck. Saude!

Many of us fit 145/80 R13 tyres. There is much more choice in that size, they are cheaper, more comfortable ride, lower the revs a little and make the speedometer more accurate.

Thanks to everyone who responded to the enquiry:

"I am having problems finding tire info 1988 Renault 4 GTL"​

It is so refreshing that fraternal brotherhood & friendship that comes with the interest in the Renault 4 car, should reach out and help another Renault4 owner with his enquiry. Thankyou everyone!!

Actually, it is a pretty cool group of people. Not a bunch of snarky people who like to make nasty comments. My problem here has been resolved but not ideally. Portugal is a poor country so high end tires can be difficult to find. No Michelins and several other brands were available. Uniroyal made a rain tire that fit and even that had to be sent from a warehouse. Hankook made a tire but it too was unavailable.

My Potruguese is poor so shopping by internet here can be challenging.

I've got the Uniroyal tyres on my R5. I quite like them and will buy a set for my F4 when it is finished.

I am in Viana do Castelo but found a set of Uniroyals. They were not my first choice but they were available and fit. Nice to meet you D.
