Default Odd size tire?

I was cleaning out all my old hoarded thing at my shop and came across a tire 205/75D-15. I always thought the "R" was for radial as in 205/75R-15 but this is the first "D" I have ever noticed. Does anyone know what it means. Just curious, I am throwing it away.

I believe "D" tires are temporary use only...spare tires.

"R" is for radial

"D" is for bias

If that tire has very little wear on it, eBay is probably a good idea. It could be a match for someone's [show] car. You might get $100 for it.
