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.

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.
