[DeTomaso] 15 inch tires

[Julian Kift]

The CRZ66 are well regarded by the GT40 crowd. Alternatives would be the Michelin TB15 and Pirelli have brought out a P7 Corsa classic range with 15" sizes;
 
235/45R15; 235/45R15; 285/40R15; 285/40R15; 305/35R15; 305/35R15

Roger Kraus will also cut tread into a set of slicks for road use if you are so inclined.
