- Pirelli makes a P7 in 345 35 VR 15. If this aint wide enough then nothing
- else will be. This was the same tire found on the back of 83- Lamborghini
- Countach. They are only about $270 each. You should see some of the
- sizes Pirelli makes. Have you ever seen 295/35ZR19???? What on earth
- could possibly use this size except a MBZ600SL!
