As another member noted-  Supply & Demand.  Pure economics.
A Cadillac Motorcar is a Possession for which there is no Acceptable Substitute

While I'm not crazy about getting an exact repro of a bias ply tire with the 1 med to large and 1 narrow white  stripe for my 1968, because i can get a 235-75-15 if i really want to and couldn't care less about the dual stripes, I am rankled by the lack of offerings in 235-70-15 which is what the Fleetwood takes. There seems to be only 1 mfr left.

I drive my cars  for longer distances and like to go fast, so I do not want bias ply tires on them.  Drive less than 75 on 75 and you'll get hit from behind.

But I draw the line at blackwalls on these cars. In a word, No.
Regards,
"Cadillac" Mike
