I don't think Yokohama has produced the 345/35/15 for years...so make sure you check the production date if you are thinking of buying them.
Pirelli is the only company I could find that makes Z rated tires in that size. Finding the 285s that go up front...impossible.

About 3 years ago Yokohama made a batch of 345's, so they may not be that old. But the advice about checking the date code is excellent - I had a brand new 8-year old Pirelli P7R blow out on my after a grand total of 40 miles. Fortunately I was going slow, but it could have been ugly.
If you are desperate for 285's, there is a new lot in Sweden for sale. Bring money.
