>>>Why would you request such bizarre-sized tires? 275/55-15??? That
was a custom size used on exactly ONE automobile ever--the Aston Martin V8.
Aston Martin contracted with Pirelli to produce a small batch of P7 tires 20
years ago exclusively for them in that size. What would inspire you to
ask for that size from Tire Rack?
The stock L-model tires were 205/60-15 and 255/50-15. BFG makes them and
Tire Rack sells them:

If you want a bit more tire in the rear, BFG also makes a 275/60:

Summit Racing also carries these same tires.
If you want stock Pre-L tires, the Michelin XWX is what you're after, as I
mentioned yesterday:

Or, the optional 225/70 rear:

You're making this all way too difficult for yourself. Just hit the
'easy' button. :>)
