Question 345/35 R15 Alternative Tires

I am looking for advice to see what is a good source for these size tires or if there is an alternative to these size tires. I am new to this and learning as I go.

The cost of the tires are high (and yes I realize you have to pay to play in the game lol).

I found helpful information on the chat boards such as Coker Michelin TB15 71233 in the yesteryear tires. However, they come out to $1200 cdn for pair. The Pirelli PZero System Asimmetrico Tire - 345/35ZR15 are about $3200 for pair.

Some have mentioned going to a different rim size. What were the rim sizes you tried and tires sizes for those rims?

Any advice will be appreciated.

What car is this for? You would move up to 17" rims. If your looking for a tire about the width of the 335 Michelins or 345 Pirellis, then look at the 315's offered by various companies. Rim width would be 11-12" wide range.
Also look at Longacre Tire in the U.K. They may be cheaper for the Michelins or Pirellis than here.
The only drawback to going to 17" rims are the rear tires will be about 1.5" taller than the 15"s.

TB15's are probably your best bet. They show up in the parts section from time to time. 17's are definitely easier/cheaper to find. But...911's like rear tire/wheel setups that are sub 25 inches in diameter. Unless your driving a Lambo, and uhm...not sure then.

Pirellis have a distinct look and aspect ratio not duplicated by other manufacturers. Coker and others have "vintage" looking tires with what looks like a dirt track tread pattern and taller sidewall. Which way you go depends a lot on what look you are after. If for a Lambo there is no other choice than Pirelli that I am aware of.

The 15 inch tires that I am seeking is for a rep lambo. I hope it is not a taboo posting on here. lol.
This site had the most helpful information on the tires that helped me track the Coker Michelin TB15 Tires 71233.
@RarlyL8 - if the Coker Michelin tire size for TB15 is 335 /35R15 vs Perelli is 345 /35R15 , do you see an issue using the Cocker tire? The diameter and width difference is approx. 0.3 & 0.4" for diameter and width. Since it is smaller it would not interfere and visually, would it be noticeable?
