>>>That's 285-40-15, not 30.   They were used on the front of the Pantera, 
and the back of the Renault R5 Turbo, Lamborghini Jarama (or was that the 
Silhouette?), Porsche 911 Turbo RS, and a few other very limited production 
cars I think.

Not a big market, in other words.   The Countach used the 345/35 rear and a 
205/50 front.   I think the Countach is the sole reason that the 345/35 is 
still available from Pirelli as only it and the Pantera GT5/GT5-S used that 
tire.
