  Expensive they are....but if you want 15" tires for your Original 15" Campy's it may be worth the costs.

$400 each for a hard-compound tire with 80 treadware, ouch.  I think it
would be better and ultimately cheaper to buy larger wheels and modern
tires for go-fast days then use the campies on show days.

Roger Kraus Racing carries them in Nor-Cal:

BUT, would Eric let you run them at Silver State?   Get it in writing
before 
you shell out the big bucks!

FWIW the GT40 guys are running 295/50 rear and 215/60 front.
