275/60x15 will fit on a 10" rim but will be a little stretched, a 295/50x15 would be perfect IMHO.

Are you sure those fronts are 13"? I've only ever seen them in 14" and 15" sizes.

Looking at the pics again they look more like 15s to me, you'd best get the tape measure out before you spend any $$$

Ye  measured from one side to the other / inside edge to inside edge and Ye measures 13 inch so measured the back to see they are 15 inch and Ye said 15"

Oh well, silly me, photos can be deceptive.

Just make sure they fit over your brakes before you buy tyres, esp if you have disc brakes or drop spindles.
