Hey there D&D!
No expert on trucks but are your wheels 3 piece like original RC10?

Are you going to run it? Newer tires are softer and won't hold the bead on your 3 pc wheels so it makes a difference.
Are you going full boxart or just looking for something to work?
There are some new oop
rear fuzzies on ebay from proline for a decent price or a set of used ones for half that.
If you do a search for 'vintage proline tires' it will bring you up to a few options.

Hey there
Do you know the wheel's diameter?
Will make a difference on tire choice.

Hello . This may help . The GT black tub came with solid rims 7842 front and 7802 if you have 1/4 axles and 7803 for 3/16 axles .

Also any 2.2 truck tire will work on the solid rims . Just pick your tread pattern for front and rear . The 3 piece rims need a harder tire like # 7870 and # 7820 both are long discontinued .
