      Probably 235/75R-15 would be my guess.

      OP, define "equivalent". You're going to have a hard time finding whitewalls, because apparently they are out of style now. *Eyeroll* I don't think Michelin makes whitewalls in this size anymore. If you are fine with the truck tire look of blackwalls, you can get them anywhere.

        Yeah, I looked a looooong time for whitewalls that weren't crap and outdated. I ended up making my own with a grinder and a set of mickey thompsons, but unless you have 10 hours and a brake lathe...

        Check out Diamondback Tires. They apply a whitewall to high-quality tires like Hankooks or the excellent Michelin Defender. They can do almost any size you like.

            Toyo Extensa A/S is still available as WSW and is not a bad tire at all.

              DiamondBack is about the only alternative if you want authentic, period correct looking tires, but they are SALTY.

                Coker Tire carries them as well. Narrow whitewall or wide.
                These are highly engineered precision vehicles, the first step in diagnosing the problem is to strike the suspected offending part sharply and repeatedly with a blunt object, then re-test.

                  Try finding the dual-stripe whitewalls from the '78 Mark V Diamond Jubilee Edition....unobtanium now, I think, unless you go custom.

                      That's what I have on the Lincoln that Nick is buying from me. +1 good tires. They don't get flat spots easy from sitting either.

                        I had Cooper Trendsetter SE's on my '67 in the 235/75R15 size. I had no complaints of them.

                              Hercules has a lot of white walls. I have 225/70/15s on my wagon. Pretty good price too
