What tire and size for Minilite wheels?

I acquired a set of 13X5 Moss Minilites for my 59 BE. From what I've read, it looks like 155/80R13, 165/80R13 or 175/70R13 are the correct sizes to choose from, but I'd appreciate any feedback from those that have fitted these wheels to their BEs. Also, what make of tire has worked out well for you?

Thanks!

Mike

165/70R13 is closer than either 175/70R13 or 165/80R13.
