The most common is a 205/70x15 (or 75 series t be closer to original) but as Amrer has indicated a 215/70 will fit. He has had a lower performance Firestone on his car, he then upgraded to Blockley 205s (Blockley Tyre - Vintage and Classic Car Tyres) but has now fitted Michelin 215s (XWX | Michelin Classic)

And I would put the Avons as equal or better to any choice SascoSports Inc is a full-function racecar preparation restoration shop Rally-CR6ZZ-DOT&tire_size=205/70R15 96V&std_rim=&rim_diameter=15

Note these are not cheap, but why spend thousands on "horsepower" and balk at hundreds to allow it to be used?
