I run 8 & 11 x15's on my DP with the Michelin TB's. I think a set of tires, 215's & 295's are in the $1700 + range. An excellent dry tire, o.k. -pretty good in the damp, and hydroplane in a good rain. I think I'm optimistic hoping to get 8-10K miles out of them.
I thought tirerack carried the Pirelli's. I heard Yoko make a small batch of the 295's once a year, but was never able to get an exact date, or to place an order. I got a call last year from a guy who's friend had bought the entire run of Yokos, I believe around 100 tires. My car came with the Yokos, and I switched to the Michelins. The Michelins are a lot lighter.
The BFG tire mentioned above has a 26.7"dia., the Michelins are around 23.5.
I would give Harvey Weidman a call and see what he charges to make up a set of the 9 & 11 x15's. There was also some shop (the one that did Matteo's car) that was offering 11x15".
