UK tyre recommendations for series 2a

[Vintage23]

Looks like I may need to ship my tyres in from the UK to Canada for my Series 2a 88 rebuild. There is little choice here.
I have the original 16" rims cleaned and painted.
Looking for tyre (around the 600-16) recommendations please?
Would like to get a consensus, on what currently popular on the forum.
TIA

Have you got 5" SWB rims or 5½" LWB rims

I use 205R16 radials which are so much more comfortable and handle a lot better than cross-plies.
