[TR] TR6 tires

Besides checking the dates of the tires, the ones you have may have already "dry rotted", it may appear to be cut, but is in fact rotted and cracked, so check for cracks.? It may still hold air for a while, but is not safe at all.? 205 x 70 x 15 seem to be a popular replacement, 215 x 70 x 15 are closer to the original circumference.

List!?
?
I'm digging out the TR6 from the garage and find that one of the tires got cut in the garage over the winter (who knows how?)?
?
Presently it has Goodyear GT+4 195 70 15 on it.?
?
After 20 minutes on the web, it appears no one carries this size tire anymore. I really don't want to buy 4 new tires as the other three are fine.?
?
What are people recommending in this instance. I know I've seen several discussions about tire and sizes here, but as I was not in the market then, I did not pay as much attention as I probably should have.?
?
Any help appreciated.?
?
TIA?
