Damn those crappy 15inch tires. I currently run 305/50/15 in the rear and 265/50/15 in the front (Euro TA's which are no longer available). Now my choices are a POS comp TA (S rated -112 MPH) or the non DOT Goodyears (trans am rain tire). Or....I could step up to a 17 inch wheel and run 335/35/17 in the rear and 265/40/17 in the front. The 335 is 26.2 inches versus 27 inch for the 305. Fronts remain the same height - 25.5. I am seriously considering doing this. Who wants to get anywhere near 100 MPH with an S rated tire? I run Goodyear slicks on the road race courses, but these do me no good on the street. The 15 inch tire market will only continue to dwindle...
