Have you considered the Cooper Cobra tires? I saw where they have a 215/70R14 size available which should be close enough (only 10mm wider). 440 tread wear rating, so won’t be the stickiest tire. However, if you’re not hot rodding it around they shouldn’t be too bad.
I had a set of them back in the late 90’s on a z24 Cavalier, they weren’t too bad.
I second these, or at least can vouch that these are pretty decent performance tires. Have them on my dads fox ltd in 225's and it corners pretty hard (also has big sway bars).
Would have to go to a 215, but that is only 1/4 inch larger radius. I also have an 86 Capri 5.0 that has had a 235/60R15 drag radial on the front (ancient tires for winter storage) with no issues, and that is larger and wider than that 215.
