they have them in both 205/70VR14 and 215/70VR14.  in fact, there's a set of five (5) NOS 215/70VR14's on eBay right now asking $1200 but open to offers.

I liked the COMP T/A

^^^^^^  +101

seems like BFG is missing the boat by not using the Comp T/A compound  on a  RWL tire,  they could charge double what the Radial T/A's go for and sell all they could make.

FWIW - I just put a set of the Cooper Trendsetters on the T-bird (215/75-15). In that particular case I wanted a whitewall and a USA brand. Can't change the size due to the skirts.
I ordered from Jet. The tires arrived pretty quick, and had end of 2017 date codes (very good in my experience). They look A-OK, whitewalls cleaned up very nicely.
Took the car out for the first spring ride on Sunday, including some 70 mph +/- on the highway, everything seems smooth. I'm gonna give them a few more miles before I push them around some curves to test out the new HD sway bar....

Jet is another internet shopping site... in this particular case they were a better deal than Amazon, etc. - or even Walmart (who owns Jet - go figure).

^^^^^^ +1
They will stick better than the BFG Radial T/A., IMHO,  and one can always have the RWL's added if needed.
