very wide 15" tires ?

[porsche930dude]

A freind of mine is in dire need of 15" street tires for his turbo look targa with gotti wheels i think they are 15x8 and x10 . theres got to be somthing available just not sure where to look

It VERY VERY tough to find wide 15" tires now,...............

Look at Michelin TB15's. Not cheap, but an excellent product for what they are intended for.

Hoosier A6 (auto-x) and R6 (Track)
were all I could find
I have a tire groover and thought about putting a cut or 2 on them
BUT they are manfactured with 5/ 32" ... so wont last long !

Same boat ... now looking for 16" maybe 17" rims

pirelli makes a 345 35 which is what he has on the rear now but they are stretched but then what to do with the front

cooper cobra makes a 265/50 but thats about an inch taller tire in the front

I think i decided what to recommend for him . Hankook Ventus H101 99s in 265/50-15 all the way round. They are 25.4 " in diameter which is abot 1/4" taller than the stock 215/60 and 195/65 . They are recommended for 7.5-9.5" rim im sure it wont hurt to stretch another 1/2" . and there only 78$ a piece from onlinetires.com Thoughts?

I use to have that set up on my wide body 911, I have a used set of p-zero 225/50ZR/15 with decent tread left with no dry rot,this is what I ran up front. $100+shipping if your interested.
