The rims could do with a bit of TLC too.

You need 155/80 R13 R (90), any tyre company will recognise this.

These are not a common tyre as the load rating is for a van, the bit in the brackets is the load rating and needs to be 90 or above, this is important.

Quick look online gives:

Yokohama RY818 Delivery Star at £60 fitted,

Hankook Vantra RA18 155/80 R13 R (90), £76 fitted,

Kumho Radial 857 155/80 R13 R (90) £49 fitted. 

All good brands with a good reputation.

Agreed except the 8P which means 8-ply and on modern tyres this is usually quoted as 'extra load' or XL or reinforced. 

The C means that it is a van tyre (C=cargo - can be ignored) and the 90/88 means that it is weight rated as 90 which is 600Kg for a single axle caravan and 88 (560Kg) for a twin axle caravan per wheel.

With a 90 rating you should have a MTPLM (i.e. all up weight) of not more than about 1100Kg to leave some headroom.

Have a look at Avon tyres - I found them reasonably priced (at Just Tyres) and towed very well.
