Re: 185 80 13
These tyres are pretty good. I mount them with the white wall on the inside to give the correct look. They are not directional tyres. Shop around for the best price.

Re: Later seats C/W headrests
Mike, the headrests are the same as the Dolomite range. May be another line of enquiry. What colour are you looking for?
