I know that the Alpine A310 V6 uses that same tire on the rear, maybe that will help your search?

How wide are your wheels? There's quite few (ok, maybe not that many) tires for a 13" wheel in 205, a couple more that are wider/narrower. Sidewall aspect ratio is a different matter, although a 70 series seems a little much. Something like this might work:

Not really helpping but I've found it harder and harder to find the sizes I'm looking for to because I don't want 17+ rims. Due to lack of demand of course allot of us ol' skoolers are getting regulated to compromise of size or going down the "economy" tire route.

After looking at the sites it look slike you'll have to callto see if a size is available. I use 205/60 13 on my Rx7 but online that size is not showing up but I know they have those sizes. Now they probably have to be ordered in, 13 is not a very common size anymore.
