What tire sizes are used on 6" wheels

OK....Fuchs deep 15 x 6J wheels on 1970 "T"

What tire size works for this combination.
Owners manual says 185/70-15 but no comment about wheel width.
Comments?

195/65-15 is closest to stock diameter. 205/60-a5 is a touch shorter, but still narrow enough to be OK on a 6" rim.

Or there are still a couple of one of the original sizes, 185/70-15. Either Michelin XWX (from Coker Tires, big bucks) or Vredstein.

I've used 205/50s.....redneck gear reducers. The size throws off the speedo.
