Need to get new tires for a 1967 Caddy DeVille convertible in a 235/70R15. Any recommendations?

They're pricey but it looks like the Michelin XVS is close to what you currently have.

Coker Tire. They make all sorts of vintage treads and sidewalls. American company too.

I used Coker and Year One for buying Firestone Oval O on my 442. Thy were bias ply to be "correct" but if you are daily driving, I'd buy something modern.

Modern tire tech if you are DD is the way to go
