205/70-14 is the metric size for that car. BF Goodrich Radial T/As come in that size as well as Michelin Defenders and Kumho Solus, and most likely many others. You can get repro E70-14 Firestone tires in RWL, whitewall, or redwall from Coker Tire, but they are over $200 each.

I haven't shopped for them lately but a lot of folks around here complain about the absence of 14" at local tire dealers.

You can't really put a tire that wide on 5.5" wheels. They will really be pinched.
