So, err, 165/70/13 then?
Willtheyfit.com is a useful site for tyre comparisons.

No, if the profile isn't specified it's 80 so they'll be 165/80-13 with load index 82 and speed rating T (same size as my Fun in fact).
You don't say what width the wheels are which would be useful - however, you can usually get away with going up 1 step in width and down 1 step in profile which more or less maintains overall diameter. Hence 175/70-13 ought to be OK.

I am aware 'missing profile info' means 80~82% profile or thereabouts. |

Steady on, no need to be like that. Yes I did misinterpret your post but maybe it could have been clearer.
Going from 165/80 to 165/70 will reduce the diameter significantly so the speedo will read well out.
