You will find a larger variety of tires in the 70 size than 75.

Tire developement has been going along with tire size.
IOW, when 70 series became the rage the tire companies spent millions on development; rain, grip, noise, etc. Then it was 60 series and the 70 series were not concentrated on much, but received some trickle down from the 60s. Now it is on to the ridiculous series, i.e. 45 and 55...

So, 75s are really old and 70s are sorta old.
Go with the 70s.
Buy Michelin or Dunlop. I happen to think that Dunlop D2 are very good on these cars.
