Not Ranked
On my 289 FIA, seeing no further track time, I removed my Avon's and added a simple set up blackwall Cooper Cobras for the street:
235/60/15 for the front
295/50/15 for the rear
The Avons I replaced were the same sizes, and I have no clearance issues, nor rubbing of any kind. Having used the Coopers on other street driven Cobras I've owned, they are already a known entity for me. If you are not planning any track time, do not over think the process, as you do not need a tire rated at sustained speeds of 140mph or above.
