165mm. They're about the only standard size tyres you can get now for those rims.
I recently renewed my tyres and the only ones available were a brand called Nankang (Taiwanese) and the size is 165R15 with an 80 series profile.
Hope this helps

Try to avoid going too low a profile. Your ride will be harder and your speed will be affected by the smaller overall diameter of the wheel/tyre
assembly, and your fuel consumption will go up.
