Absolutely.

Pirelli P7 (or more recently, Yokahama AVS Intermediate) sized 285/40-15 
front, 335/35-15 rear.

The latest Pirelli Asimetrico is still available from the Tire Rack in 
335/35-15.   It's a great tire but they sure are proud of it--I think the cost is 
$499 each???   Something like that.

285/40-15 tires haven't been available new for years.   There are quite a few 
that are available from various sources, including a big pile in the UK and 
another pile in Sweden.   Shipping is prohibitive, however.

Phil Stebbings, the keeper of the UK pile, is coming to my house next week, 
and might be convinced to throw a couple of 285/40s in with his luggage, if 
there is sufficient interest?

Mike
