    Lyndon, I think that this would probably work. I have used P225-70X15 on 68-72 cars with good results, both driving and cosmetics

        Your best options for radial tires as close to the correct F70x15 bias ply is a 215/70/15 or a 225/70/15. I have used both with good results. The tires you are trying to use will not look good because there will be a tremendous amount of inner fenderwell showing.

          Depends on what you are trying to achieve. I agree with Duke, you will have lots of "open" wheel well showing. If you are planning on lowering the car to use for autocrossing for example, it would look alright.

              I have BFG 255/60R15 on my '74 and they look and handle great. Just don't try and put one in your spare tire carrier. Bill

                I'm using 235 60 15 with F41 suspension

                On my cars (1969 and 1970) the 235-60-15 was the largest that wouldn't rub with the F41 suspension.
