Hi CA,
The present day equivalent of the F70-15 tire is a 215-70-15 tire.
This tire is very close to height and width of the original.
By today's standards it looks a bit skimpy because the present tire has 'rounded' shoulders, while the F70 tire has very 'square' shoulders which fill the wheel well opening a bit better.
Many people use a 225-70-15 tire which gives a good appearance.
Your present tire is close to that, (it's a little taller and wider), and might be fine for your situation and tastes.
Regards,
Alan
