What is an appropriate tire size for a 1969 Chevelle Malibu?

The back tires are customarily supposed to be larger and I have large tires on the backs (I don't have the size right now). I currently have 26 x7.5 x 15 on the fronts, but they are too small for driving on the freeway. Its a 69 Chevelle Malibu 350. Thanks!

    The OEM tire size on all 4 corners was what ='ed to 225/70/14

    Now myself to help with handling, daily useage, and performance.

    I would use a 255/60-15 out back and something like a 225/60-15 up front.

    Maybe even a 275/60-15 and 235/60-15 combo

    I have a 1968 El Camino and have run 235/60R15 up front and 275/60R15 on the rear (7" rallys front/8" rally rear) for years with no issue. It is a little tight to the lip on the rear (unsure on backspacing), and I just rolled the lip a little bit for a bigger gap.

    215/70-R14. There doesn't seem to be a lot of choices in 14 inch tires as far as a different aspect ratio (70 or 75 series)

    They don't look all that small but I would be running 225/70R15 all the way around.
