Tyres

Sometimes, when they feel like it, Pirelli makes some P7's.
They are hard to come by.
Maybe you can find some in the Euro marketplace?

Greetings Laurent,

Very, Very nice Mangusta!
I have in the past used the " Tire Rack's " Web site for tires and Dimensions.
under spec's you can compare sizes.
They even have survey's on how well the tire's perform.

Hope this helps and good luck. Mark

Hello laurent,
The only truely speed tire made in a 255/15 is the Pirelli scorpian P Zero. I believe it's ZR rated, originally made for the Ford Lightning truck. the tread is aggressive but looks great on cars, I wanted the speed rating for the stiff sidewall for road racing, I have them on my 70 Trans Am...set up for roadrace, even though I occasionly do the 1/4 mile. I run large sway bars, stiff springs and Koni's and it corners amazing for me. Did 1:42 sears point on scorpians, and low 11 sec 1/4 mile aired down to 20psi. Iknow am going to install the on my 69 427 roadster. I cant say enough obout these tires, love them.

A few years ago I put some 275/60 15 Comp TA's on the rear. They get rid of some of the original narrow track look, raise the gear ratio a bit, but make the speedometer even more rediculously optomistic. The tires were orginally made for the Chevey SS454 pickup!
