Tires, what are decentlnes?
I am close to being able to drive my car, hopefully. I currently have old BFG R1 autocross tires from the early to mid 1990s, and won't be driving much over 30mph. More than likely they will not be worn out before they are replaced due to age.
I have a 1970 big block coupe and want to run 215/70-15, whhich is the replacement for the stock bias ply. I have no investment in any particular brand. I don't see the car being raced, won't be going over 120 mph. Essentially just need general purpose tires that have decent dry/wet characteristics. I have a Discount Tire, NTB, Firestone Complete Auto Care, and Tire Rack installers near by.
What do you guys recommend?

If you want radials,
Raised White Letters - you are limited to BF Goodrich TA Radials & Cooper Cobra's (there may be another manufacturer out there?).
White Walls - the same as above plus a few more manufacturers are available.
Black Walls - will provide the most options of manufacturers.
While 215/70-15 is the closest replacement for the F70-15's, the 225/70-15's also work nicely and may give you more options.
