Where to buy tyres & exhausts at Swansea for a classic car?

When a wur a lad, drum brakes and sealed beams were all the rage and outside of Sweden, safety was the box you kept your pennies in.
Never had a problem, still don't, driving old school tech

I know someone that would sell you a dozen tyres for 50 quid if you were closer

13" and I'm very flexible about width as I'm looking at changing at least 2 tyres, maybe more as I have 2 spare rims.

It has 155s on now, I'm looking at going up to 175 or 185 if I can find some...

185 70 13 are for 51/2" rims. Fitted on 4" rims they'll look more like motor cycle tyres

If its anything like the Marina's I recall, the problem will be getting close enough to any other vehicle to worry about braking distances

My sister had an 1800TC, supposedly the sporty one. The only thing it did fast was guzzle fuel & shed bits (funniest being when on the M4 - there was a sudden tearing noise, & the Vinyl roof peeled off & got left behind )

I know roofing felt is for sheds, but there are limits.

Update (mainly good news for a change)

4 new Trakmax tyres ordered from Tyreleader - price was too good to
ignore @qwakers

Nice chap at Profab exhausts let me raid his scrap pile, all of their junk was better than what's on my car A shame I need small bore and 99% of their stuff is big bore. I found a straight pipe so will try that.. it won't be the first time I've run a straight pipe @sako243

One of sealed beam headlights failed on the drive last night, I'm now
looking at H4 conversion lights..

Speeding in this isn't a problem, in the 50 mile drive last night on the motorway I only passed 1 vehicle and that was a hgv
