Bias ply tires original-looking tires for 15x8 steelies

Does anyone here know if any company makes bias ply tires that would fit my 15x8 steel rims for my 1965 GMC? I can’t put the original 15x6 rims back on because I have done a disk brake conversion on the front end. I am running BF Goodrich radials right now but would much rather have original-looking bias ply or the classic mud tires.

Here's a good source for them, maybe you can find something: http://www.stausaonline.com/product-...t-truck-tires/
To me, the STA Super Traxion is a GREAT mud tire for our trucks.

Another source: https://www.nebraskatire.com/light-truck
I like the Power Kings for mud tires.

Also, since you mentioned you're only going with 8" rims because of the disk conversion, you could search for some 71 or newer K5/K10 wheels (assuming you are still 6 lug) - they will clear your disk brake conversion assuming stock size calipers and can be had in narrower than 8" wheels - will give the skinny mud tire look you seek.

I concur with Rocknrod, Coker Tire in Chattanooga, TN. Give them a call. They know their stuff and can get you the tires you need.
