Default Need to find some good tires for buddy's 4-4-2

Guys, I'm trying to help out a buddy find some new tires for his '69 4-4-2. He's got some old BFG's on the car currently mounted to 14" Rally wheels 225/70. I don't think he's really wanting to venture too far from this size, but most of my searching has come back with limited "good" tires in this size. Anyone have any suggestions, please feel free to chime in. I think he's looking to change these out in the next few weeks.
Thanks in advance.

Sadly, for the musclecar gang, "performance" tires in anything near a stock size just don't exist. The market has gone away, so the tire companies aren't making anything more "racy" than a BFG T/A, or a Firestone Firehawk Indy.

He needs to upgrade to at least 15s to get more selection.
