One other thing to consider about tire sizes for a TR3 is how wide a tire will
fit in the spare tire well. I don't know if a 185X70SR15 will fit in the well,
even when flat.
You want to make sure you have a place to bring the flat one home.
I can recall reading about some very exotic (Italian) car with a temp. duty
spare, that would require leaving an extremely wide tire by the side of the
road, in case of a flat. The idea would be sort of comparable.
OTOH, one of my TR3s currently has 225X60X15 tires on 72 spoke wires on it, but
that's another story.
