I have been running them on the back of my Pantera for 4 years now, 295/50/15 and have no complaints. High speed rated, street approved, the only choice really in that size. A certain amount of discretion is required in torrential rain with water running across the motorway, but that is probably normal with any tyre that wide in a car with no electronic stability aids.
Cheers, Tim.
I am undecided between the original 15 (7/8) inch rims with Avons and 17 inch Roin Campi clones with greater tire selection. I only drive on the street. I only want the original look. I think I will go to a therapist...
yes perhaps you should........

Therapist's advice:
Third possible wheel/tire choice:
Factory 7x15 front wheels (6mm offset) with Pirelli P Zero 225/50ZR15 (24 inch diameter)
Roin 10x17 rear wheels (13mm offset) with Pirelli P Zero 285/40ZR17 (26 inch diameter)
The sidewalls are the same height front & back. Tires readily available, modern high performance passenger car street tires, no reproductions, no race tires. Factory appearance, if you don't mention them the casual observer will not realize the difference. You only need purchase two wheels, not four.
