Right Tire Size Michelin TB15

I have an '88 narrow body that I'm restoring and I bought new wheels that are 7x15 for the front and 8x15 for the back.

What is the right Michelins TB15 tire size that I can have without any rubbing?

A lot of threads and comments about them, but I still couldn't figure out the right size that I need....

Thanks.
R.

My 88 has Pirelli
P 195/65R 15 front
P 215/ 60R 15 rear

These are listed as the correct & original tire size.
However I don't think they are available any longer.

I am not sure if Michelin produces something comparable.

Here's a link to Michelin tb15 sizes -- TB15 | Michelin Classic

DOesn't look like they are a match for your needs and it's my understanding that "good" tires for 15" wheels are becoming QUITE scarce.

There's a much better selection of tires available in 16 inch tire sizes that fit 16x7 front and 16x8 rear wheels (205/55-16 and 225/50-16)

Have you considered the Avons? They have several sizes for narrow 15's
