Anyone running the 13" wide 15" dia. Campy's should probably be looking at this eBay auction for 345/35-15 Pirelli's. They don't come up new like this very often.

Good luck

Doug,

A 345 profile tire has a section width of 13.9" and is for a recommended rim width of 11.5" to 13.5".

I'm running 335/35-17's on a non flared car, so I suspect the tire width is not the issue, just you'll need some wider rims with the correct backspacing to mount them on! Then if you had to get rims, why would you go 15"? Smiler

These are OLD tires. Even if stored 'correctly', whatever that is, they are subject to age drying out, cracking, etc. I would never trust them at speed. I dumped SP 8000 Dunlops on 2511 at time of purchase that had less than 5000 miles, but were seven years old.

Buy these tires for looks? Okay. Performance? Save your money.

Joules, I have the same size tires and wheels as what you mentioned but I had to put spacers under the springs to keep the tires from rubbing. Now the car sits up in the air like a 4x4 and even so, on expansion joints on bridges on the interstate, they will still rub if you are going faster than 70, when you hit them. So I am taking mine back off and lowering the car back down where it should be. About one inch off the deck.
