185/70-15 seems to be completely extinct, other than specialty
tires not well suited for "friendly" vintage racing (i.e. where you
don't replace tires every day during a weekend, more like once a season).
Currently looking at street tires in 195/65-15, with the corresponding
penalties - a) worse grip, being stree tires, and (b) being bumped from
"Vintage" to "Historic", where tires can be 60 series or taller.
It's just not a very pleasant situation.
