345/35r15 and 285/40r15 tires wanted

Michelin TB-15 270/45 VR 15s OR Michelin XWX 255/45 VR 15s will fit front 10 inch wide wheel. There are no matching sets available. Michelin TB-15 is available in size 335/35 VR 15 which is shorter than the recommended 345/35 VR 15s for the rear.

Pirelli 345 35ZR15 of 2012 and 2014 manufacturing batches should be widely available, even in USA. The usual paring is a Yokohama 285 40ZR15 again available as a 2012 batch but usually only available from European suppliers. My last bulk purchase batches sold out 2 years ago but they are certainly still out there (for a price). Be warned - some sellers are still trying to get rid of some very old rubber; be certain to verify the batch date before handing over your hard earned $$$.

Personally, I don't think the TB's look right on the car. Your mileage may vary.

I have recently mount Michelin MWX 255/45VR15 on the front 10"Campy's and they are much better drive than the 285/40ZR15

I too have Michelin 255/45 x 15 and they run super smooth. There is very little jumpiness when you change lanes with the wider tire grabbing on the pavement gaps.

They also are readily available.

Thanks for the information, I had no idea these tires would even fit on a 10" wide wheel. Do you have any pictures of what they look like installed? Does the tire look like it is stretched?

I have problems whit uploading pictures.

Does anyone know of a source for tires to fit the wide body rims? I realize that Pirelli can supply some older 345's that will fit the rear but I can't find a matching set for the front. Any solutions out there besides buying a different set of rims?

Yes, I think I can help, the last front set I bought for a GT5-Steel was from Summit Racing, 510 each. They stock the 270/45 & the 255/45R15. Had 'em in 3 days.

I also would like to know if the Pirelli P7 Corsa Classic 285/40-15 on front would match up reasonably with the 345 Pirelli P Zero on the rear.

Has anyone performed this experiment yet?
