I ran 175/70s on my 73 RWA Midget.  I like the way they rode and
looked.  But, since you are square, you'll have to stay skinny.
This chart might help

According to the chart, your tire is the same as a 165/80 13.
The 165 is the width in mm.  80 is the aspect ratio, in this case the
tire is 80% as tall as it is wide. (60s are 60% as tall, 70s are 70%
as tall, etc)
The 13 is the rim diameter.
The R and S mean something, but I can't remember, maybe R for radial
and S for snow.

So, get the 165/80 13s and zoom zoom along.
Cheers,
Derf
