Hi Guys,
Whilst I am waiting for my chassis and other parts to show up I am researching various aspects of the build and currently obsessing about tyres.
I am defiant in my use of 15 inch wheels despite it limiting my tyre choice. Are these the only rear tyre choices available for 15 inch wheels? I am struggling to find others and yet each of the below has its own reason for my not wishing to fit them (or am I overthinking the whole thing)?
I would like to have a classic original look as much as possible.
Have i missed any tyres from the list? Would certainly like to fit over 300 width and the tyres to be mainly for road (with the odd track day). It is important that the tyres are super grippy for road use in both dry and wet (even though I don’t plan on taking her out in the wet I may have to drive her back in the wet). Thanks.

Manufacturer | Tyre model | Tyre width (mm) | Tyre sidewall (total, inches) | Comment |
Dunlop | CR82 | 345 | 10.7 | Apparently rubbish tyres |
Avon | CR6ZZ | 295 | 11.95 | Not wide enough for me |
Pirelli | PZero | 345 | 9.8 | Sidewall too small |
Michelin | TB5 | 335 | 9.25 | Sidewall too small |
