Need alternative size for 175/50R13?

Hi all, anyone know what i can put on my Mini Clubman GT instead of 175/50R13, this size is discountinued and I need to replace all 4 now due to crack, any other choice instead of paying the crazy $600 to get it ship from UK.

Hi, check if you have locally available 195/45R13 this tire works well on Supalites 13x7" wheels

No luck on the 195/45R13 either, will 195 look too wide?

Way underload

175/50 's are load index 72. This leaves you over 500 lbs less than stock gvaw requirements. Unsafe, IMO.
