Universal Tire has 205/75R15's BFG's in goldlines and redlines, but not white walls or white lettered. You won't find any white lettered tires in a 75 series tire that I know of, only 60's and 70's.

205/75R15's are the correct modern replacement for 6.70x15's used on mid-years.

Universal does have an off brand 205/75R15 1" white wall tire.

I am giving serious thought to the redline replacement and simply installing with the redline inside. They appear to have a good tread pattern and good construction quality unlike the American Classics I currently have on my '62. The American Classics offer a 1 inch whitewall but that is the only thing they have going for them. Imho.

Most 15" tire sizes are so obsolete today that it's very hard to find a mainline manufacturer of them in most sizes.

But there is one go to place for the sizes you just HAVE to find to complete a period correct appearance.
