I use 205/50 x 15 - very close to same rolling radius as the original 185/70 x 13.

Other ones that are similar are 195/55 x 15 and 215/45 x 15

I find anything much bigger than 185x15" on the front causes understeer, They may look nice but no good for going round corners, One of my cars still has 195 but i will change them when i get time. I run 205" at the rear.
The lower the car or stiffer it is seems to make it worse also lower profile tyres i think Grinnall modified some of there cars to allow wider tyres.
