The closest you might be able to get to that size....ASSUMING it's for street use, is 175-70-13.
Tire Rack lists 1 competition tire in this size (I didn't think to look at other sizes on Tire Rack) and Discount Tire Direct lists 4 or 5 street tires in the 175x70 13 size.

Is it possible to use a slightly more modern size like 195/60-14? At least there are still a few good tires in that size, the 13'' stuff is pretty much gone.

1010tires.com shows the Toyo R888 and RA-1 in that size.

A 195/60-14 would be an inch and a half larger. That is going to be detrimental to gearing.
onlinetires.com shows the Federal FD-1 in that size but you might want to call them and verify since every other small FD-1 I have tried to order has been on backorder for a few months. He says they are coming though.

I would try an Avon outlet. Don't know who is one, or where, but, that's why there's the googles....but, they do supply some off the wall tire sizes in vintage racing, and street cars, too.
Have you tried Coker?

You can still buy Hoosier A6/R6 (radial), Hoosier Street TD (bias, smaller than the radials), or you can buy some tough-to-find but available imported tires from Mini suppliers, as linked above.
