Until around 10 years ago, most mainstream econoboxes in my country were factory-fitted with 13-inch rims, and even Renault switched from 14-inch to 13 in the latest versions of the Clio II prior to its phaseout. Now it's much harder to find any good-quality 13-inch tire than it used to be, but it had been more than 20 years that certain sizes such as 145/80R13 and 155/80R13 which used to be mainstream fell out of favor among tire manufacturers since it seemed much easier to simply push the customers to 165/70R13 or 175/70R13 which are the "least harder" to find from reputable brands. However, as they're more oriented to "budget" users, it's almost unobtainium to find any LRR here...
