The road cars used the same size tires as the GT5, because that is all that 
was available.   285/40-15 front and 345/35-15 rear.

The race cars used considerably taller tires in the rear (along with 
one-inch wider wheels, 15x14); the front tires were a bit taller too.   Patrick 
Hals can tell us what sizes he's running now; he has played around with tire 
sizes a bit during his ownership of his two Gr4 race cars.
