Hi, Listers

My series V is currently equipped with 13" wire wheels which needs to be
replaced (it would probably cost me more to get them fixed than to buy new
ones not to mention there are over 30 years old). Would you advise to keep
13 or 14" : I want to keep car as much stock as possible but I'm not
intending to have it in concourse conditions, actually, I'm more using this
car as a daily driver. What would be then the most appropriate tyres fitting
:

13" : 165/70/13 - 175/70/13 - 165/80/13 or any other suggestion.
14 ": 175/80/14 or 175/70/14 this last dimension seems to be a little too
low profile for the car

Actually, I even don't know whether all above mentioned types are existing
or not but what I would like to get is best compromise in between
roadholding and cosmetic appearance (current tyres are 155/13 and it's not
really good looking in valance : makes me feel I have bicycle wheels)
