Bruce:
This is a much discussed subject for the TR250/TR6. It is GENERALLY known
that 205/70/R15 is the closest replacement for the 185X15 stock size tire.
The tire is not quite as tall as the original so you'll experience about
1/10 mile discrepancy in your speedo but it puts more rubber on the road. I
installed a set of Pirelli P400 touring tires this past January on my '69
TR6 and I'm very pleased with the results; no rubbing and a more positive
ride. Definitely a wider tire than the original. FWIW-my 2 cents worth.
Other Listers have used different tires with good results.
Best regards,
