I use Simmons B45's r15x8" with Nankang Ultrasport directional tyres - 205x55 on the rear, 195x45 on the front, standard sedan suspension, the B45's came off my mitsubishi, 4 stud pattern, and as far as I know all 4 stud mitsu rims will fit the datto.

I found the Federal SS635's @ Schwab, $250 for a set of 4 or a set of Nexen CP641's for $302 - both 185/60's - probably flip a coin for a choice.

Federals from Les Schwab.

thanks Ernie, what brand are you running ?

Evan,
I am running 185/60/13 on the front of my car with no issues.

nt1200, what is the offset of your 15x6 wheels? And do you have stock Datsun 1200 coupe front suspension?

Kiri - I was trying to stay close to the OE size for speedo issues but w/13" wheels. also didn't want to put tires on & have them rubbing in the well's.

David, is there a good tire review site? I looked at the tire specs in the Wiki. Which brand are you running, I assume you bought them locally.

Thanks Ivan, its probably the size I'll end up with.

Hi Evan, I have used 185/60 13 for years and never had any issues with rubbing and always use them on 6 inch rims. I reckon they are a perfect size tyre for standard Datto's.
