Slicks don't come in the normal sizes. In fact it can be quite confusing, especialy from Avon.

Anyway try here:
http://www.hoosiertyre.co.uk/
(although the site is down at the mo)
Other than that look for Avon at places like demon tweeks, etc

You stuggle finding that size, but i have some very bald Yoko 048r's going for free if they are any use.

These things get proper sticky after a tyre warming burnout.

As ben said, no such thing as a175.50 x 13 slick.

BMTR is the place for avons http://www.racecarnewmedia.com/bmtr/

Both Avons and Hoosiers are crossplys and come in very sticky compounds ideal for dragracing. most people with 13" wheels on a mini us 7.0. 20 x 13 (this a 7" wide slick with a 20" diameter)

Radial slicks are available, I can't remember exactly how these are measuered, but the tyre wall is a measurement rather than a % of the width.
