I'm a bit confused by references to the factory using 50 series tires on early Carreras? Specifics and vintage? This is very different than my understanding [185/70 front & 215/60 rear]. I used the same size [Yoko 008] you refer to on a '73 RS in the mid 80s but that certainly wasn't stock. BTW, there ARE some great 15" tires out now- but prices- ouch. Michelin TB, Avons, Hoosers for a start. Nothing like the good old days when there were plenty of affordable 15" stickies.

My '76 Carrera 3.0 had 2 optional wheel &tire packages
option 1 was 7ET23.3 & 8ET10.6 x15 Fuchs w/ black ctr.
option 2 was 205/50 & 225/50 Pirelli P7 tires
You don't want to use Hoosiers on the street
You pick an appropriate tire and let use know what you want to use.
