Tire sizes are driving me nuts

I thought the 13 inch tires were tough but the 15's are even harder. I want a radial in whitewall that would be the same size as a 600 15. There just isn't anything out there. This tire measures 26.2 diameter just by using a tape measure. All the tire conversions on the net I find show the replacement in radial is 185 70 15 but that diameter is much smaller. I can't even find the exact bias replacement at Coker. All the whitewalls they have are way to wide or the tire size is wrong. I would be ok with a thinner whitewall but can't even find the right tire in any white wall.

Does anyone have better information on the proper radial size for a 600 15 bias ply? I am to the point that any radial whitewall in the correct diameter that will fit the car I would be happy with.

I did find these in 205 70 15 and may just have to go with them. They are the same diameter but are 1.5 inches wider at the tread.

Didn't have time to search all the antique tires, but came across some close options. Good luck.
