tyres for 15" campys whats available

Try Longstone in the UK maybe?
http://www.longstonetyres.co.uk/page/index (site seems to have some issues right now though).

Z or even ZR rated ones will be hard to find though.

For sure Pirelli, Falken, Hankook, and Fulda still have 225/50/15.

Can't tell for the 275 rear ones - I use 295. Don't know how things work in Ireland, but not all of the US tires are allowed to be used in Belgium.

For W- speed rated Pirelli P-7R 275-55 x 15s, try contacting the Swedish Pantera Klub . They went in with the British Lamborghini owners group a few years ago and bought 200 tires from Pirelli's vintage tire-making plant in Turkey. Each club took half; this size fits Countache front wheels, Miura rears & Pantera/Mangusta 8" rear wheels. I have a pair on 8" Campys and they fit and handle well. The modern compound is not at all like the '70s P-7s. The W speed rating is for continuous speeds up to 168 mph.

In April I sourced a pair of Hankook RH 06 295/50/15V through a vendor in the Netherlands. date code: 51st week of 2009. PM for details.

Are you happy with them, because I was looking at these too...

My understanding was that these were still pretty much available no?

In 15' Hankook seems to be the one brand that has both 225 and 295 tyres in 15.

It took a little while from when the vendor said he could get them to when he actually did get them (from Berlin). But that was because I wanted the latest manufacture date possible. Considering the manufacture date provided I cannot complain.

I did not find any good match for the 15" front tires in Hankooks line. I am going to stay with the Toyo 225/50/15V Proxes 4.

Just to correct this for posterity - the clubs bought 285-40-15 tires, which is what fits Countach front wheels (and wide body Pantera front wheels as well). These would not be a good option for the rear of a Pantera due to the low profile.

hi guys ,thanks for your imput i have sent emails to the contacts you all have suggested and i am waiting for replys ,if all else fails i could use bf goodrich but i am not sure about speed rating ,cheers tony

when did 275 or 285 ever fit countach front wheels? they fit the miura sv rear wheels, but the 1978 lp400s countach through the 1984 5000s front wheels took 205/50 and the 1985 5000s qv took 225/50.

OK, I stand corrected. The wide-body Panteras share the 345-35-15 rear tires with the Countach and I assumed that they shared the same 285-40-15 front tires as well. I guess not.

In any case, the tires purchased by the Swedes are 285/40/15 (that much I am sure of!) which won't work very well on the back of a Pantera
