G78-15 equivalent
Sorry to beat a dead horse, but I’m wanting to find a tire size as close as possible to the G78-15 that came on the truck originally. I thought I had found the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow when I saw a truck at the Southeast truck nats that was being restored. It was sporting a set of bias ply G78-15 white walls from Royalton. Well, they were the last set made as when I called the company they told me there wasn’t enough interest to keep up production. Even though they had the perfect look, I like to get out on the open road with my truck so I will be sticking with a radial. I’ve seen a truck with 225/75/15s that looked good, but I’m getting conflicting reports that a 215/75/15 is also an equivalent. I haven’t seen a truck in person with that size however. I currently have a set of Firestone LR78-15 bias style tires from Coker on my original 15x6 wheels. I am not satisfied with the ride, and wanting to replace them. Attached is a pic of the Royalton tires, and the truck with the 225s.
