Tyres for 4.5" rims

Hi All,
I know the issue of tyres has probably been discussed to death but I would like your recommendations. I have a Traveller fitted with 4.5" rims and need to buy a new set of 5 tyres. I am leaning towards 165 R14 (full profile) or 155 R14 (full profile) tyres but want to buy a brand that is in keeping with the car. Does anyone know of some "old school" tyre barnds that are still available in these sizes? I dont want to fit Kumho or Nanking tyres just because it wouldnt look right! Would prefer Dunlop SP Aquajet, Michelin MX, Avon etc.
Would appreciate any comments......
Cheers
Lance

165 are too wide for 4.5 rims. The 155 are perfect. Inflate to 30 psi - more if heavy load.
