For size, 255/60 is the closest to the 225/70 at about 27.4" tall but a little wider, will fit & look good on a earlier 70-74 TA with 7" wheels... some have even used 275/60 on the rear for a raked look, they will fit on factory backspaced wheels, they will have more of a bulged sidewall on 7" but dont look too bad IMO.

I have 275/60 on the rear & 255/60 on front of a 78 T/A, has a good stance and looks great IMO, but the rears are 15x8 snowflakes, theres lots of pics on here or the interwebs to show what the combo looks like or I can send a pic. I have 255/60 all the way around on a 81 TA that also looks good.

Why so much hate for them on PY? Was it just the white letter scandal or something else? Price maybe?

Summit & most other places have the M/T Sportsman ST as well as cooper & some others that will ship to most places.
The hate for BFG is 2 fold, one is the brown letter issue that was very common but some on here got lucky and didnt have the problem, but a quick google search turns up all kinds of complaints for it for many years... took them 4 times & 8 years replacing my tires to finally get white letters in 2023.
The other thing is they are a very outdated tread design with lower speed ratings than others like cooper or M/T, they look good but are overpriced for their performance IMO.
And unless you know someone that works at or owns a shop, you will pay to have them mount & balance a tire to see if you like it on your car... & then its been mounted so most places wont return it, thats not really an option. Look at pics of other cars & decide what you want for your.
