Does anybody know of a reputable tire dealer who sells 145/60-R13 AND who is willing to ship to the United States? I have found Michelins and Hankooks and others on the Internet that are a good fit for the car, but nobody in America can get them ( >:( bloody Yanks...) I've also tried a few European websites and none of them are willing to ship to me. It really blows my mind. I have my credit card ready, and last time I checked, money is money and Visa is generally accepted everywhere. If the price goes up, I'm fine with it, it's understandable.
I certainly appreciate any and all help. Thank you.
Here are the places I've gone so far: www.gommaonline.com www.oponeo.it www.blackcircles.com www.mixreifen.de plus each respective tire company's site.

Looks like it is a very expensive option to ship to the States, around $100 per tyre.
Try this company http://www.tires-easy.com you will probably have to contact them personally for a quote.
Or you can send them to my UK address and arrange your own shipping service to collect and ship to the States.

I shot them an email, hopefully will hear back today if I'm lucky, but probably tomorrow.
I appreciate the offer to ship the tyres (I'm just going to start spelling it like that) from your own home, and I would do this in a heartbeat if I didn't have to approve this through my wife. She's very skeptical about things like this whereas I just want the tyres. Still, the wife is respected and loved, and I will adhere to her requests and concerns.
I'll update as I get info. Thank you Mr. Lewis and everybody else here for you assistance!

Found new tyres for the Fiat! A little bigger, they are 155/65R13's from Universal Tire in Miami, FL.

Do you have the original suspension on your 126?? Ive heard that only 145/65R13 and 145/70R13 will work on the car with 13in wheels and no mods?!?!?!
