Tires: Goodyear, Power Cushion, HP, Nylon, Blue Dot, 8.15x15, 3-T, TUFSYN
or
Tires: Goodyear, Blue Streak, Sports Car Special, 5.95/9.75x15, Nylon, R4

I get a kick out of the "Alternative tire sizes" section, where any tire with a section width greater than 225mm is shown in red as "Warning: wide tire!" and anything 265mm or wider is shown as "Warning: very wide tire!".
I realize fitting these widths in some of the original cars may be more difficult than fitting them in the replicas, but it sure does speak to how tires and cars have changed in 50+ years, when small sporty cars carry meatier rubber than the original Cobras!
