Recommendation for OEM 165/70 13 tires?

Can anyone recommend a tire brand, model and source for the OEM 165/70 13 tires? I know this board loves bigger tires. Personally, I'm interested in stock. Thank you.
 
I bought the Hurcules Raptis tr-1 165/70r13, they have been great so far. There's quite a few dealers but I bought from performance plus tires in California, free shipping.

They fit well and look nice too, 1986 x1/9.

Hey Myron. With all due respect, those would be a terrible choice.

They are a 165/80-13. Click on the specs and you will see they are 23.5" OD. A 165/70-13 (the proper sized OE tire) has an OD of about 22.1" A 185/60-13 has an OD of about 21.7" A 145-13 has an OD of about 22.1"

That 165-13 you linked to would be WAY too large in diameter and would surely rub like crazy....

There are lots of decent 165/70-13 out there. For example:

Lots more choices out there too if you poke around a bit.
