120/50/13 is 60mm profile
135/45/13 is 61mm profile
150/40/13 is 60mm profile
170/35/13 is 59.5mm profile
200/30/13 is 60mm profile
That's the maths of it,
I doubt that any of those sizes are available as an off the shelf tyre.

I don't think
175/60/13s will fit the Mini, they are almost an inch and a half taller than
175/50/13s.

If you get really stuck you could order from minisport or minispares or someone along thoses lines, couriers costs are what would get you but if you had to get a few more bits it mightnt be too bad.
I dna, just a suggestion.

yes, perfectly acceptable for NCT, once their is the correct tread depth in them (which doesn't last too long coz they are super soft)

165/55 R13 Accelera tyres are easily available from any tyre shop/fitter. That size was standard on the Fiat Cinquecento sporting and work very well on a mini. Way better than the 175/50 R13 muck that was standard on sportpacks
