Default 69' Goat Tire Qs

hi, friends,

I've had my 69' Judge since high school in the early 80s

one of the first things I did to car way back then was ditch back (JA) rims and put a wider set of pontiac GP(?) rally rims so that I could put wider tires on back.

FF to today .. last warm season was spent getting car back together after a <long> stalled restoration. BFG radials on car are over 20 years old and have signs of rot.
car will be on the road this season and I'm about to buy some new tires.

BF's on front, on car's original JAs are 215 70r 14 on the back are 245 60 14

I'm thinking I might spring for a set of Firestone's from Coker ... don't really yet have my head around full implications of running car w/ rims mismatched as-is VS sourcing another 2 (or3) JAs and having same tires all around. I do realize going mismatched is screwy in terms of rotating tires and having needed spare(s).

thanks in advance for your thoughts ... c'mon spring !
