Help me find these tires please?

I'm having a real problem finding the right size tires for my MGB. I need G50-14's, now known as 265/50R14's and so far I've been unable to find a manufacturer who still makes them, though I expect somewhere there is a small manufacturer who does since they were a pretty common size for 70's era muscle cars. Can anyone help me out here? Thanks.

I know you probally know of these sites but I will mention anyway "Coker Tire "or "Tire Rack .com"

Good luck many of these older tires are being discontinued, to make room for all the 16" stuff on up I guess. The Tire I use on my B is a 245 50 15 they are only made by 2 companies now 2 years ago almost everybody made them

Yeah, they're not retro enough yet for Coker and tire rack never heard of them. BFG made their last production run 25 months ago, no M/T's, no M&H's, no Hoosiers. Somebody has to be making them though, there were lots of guys that were running them.
