The 5.20 x 13 size was the cross section measured in inches and these tires were typically bias-ply construction. The optional tires were metric (cross section in millimeters), and would have been radials. The 145 R13 was the closest size in metric. In the early 70's I ran both sizes on my car. In fact, my steel rims still have a set of 520x13 tires on them now.
