Actually it is for a TR4A.  One of the original tires fitted to this model was a
Michelin 165-15.  The aspect ratio for these tires was about 77-80%.

I calculate the circumference of the 165's as 79.0"
                                     185/70   79.2"
                                     195/65   78.5"
                                     205/60   80.1"

By my estimate, the 185/70 (if any available) would be the closest match to
the original 165's  BTW, I am using wider rims than original, don't know the
exact width.  I'd have to make a homemade wide-jaw caliper with 3 pieces of
wood, a few nails and a ruler. To make the measurement.
