I'm looking to buy a set of G78-15 bias tires for my truck. Is anyone running these that can sent me a picture? The web site pic are terrible. I would like to see the tread. Or any other tire suggestions? I just want an OEM looking black wall tire.

Ran Coker wide white bias ply on my old 59 wagon. They were terrible to balance and would flat spot after a couple weeks. I know your after an original look but I wouldn't do a bias ply again.

I have F70-14 bias ply tires on a set of rally wheels for my 67 Camaro , I love the way they look but as already said they are hard to balance and will flat spot if you leave them sitting , LOL I love that wagon !

Id like an old chevy II wagon with the chrome luggage rack and surf board ,,, and ,,, and ,,, and what were we talking about ? ohh yea you want bias ply tires for your truck ? well it's like this they will look awesome ! but now they drive funny they follow cracks in the road and just feel stiff ?

These are for my 71 with 2200 original miles. It has new radials on it now, but I'm going to show it at the world of wheels next month and really want the bias OEM look.

Joesjunk- go to the powerking website. They make what you are looking for. I think they are radial but they have the zig zag tread...if that's what's on you mind. They are on my truck and will dig to china. I haven't used em on the road yet but I heard they are kinda harsh ride wise but they won't chunk and last forever. Hope you find what u r looking for.

Just a side note if it's a show truck some guys look for those words on the side "bias ply". They seemed to work "back when" so to and from shows prolly won't hurt.
