<< I went to "The Mitty" at Road Atlanta yesterday, and I met with the Coker

tire folks.  They're making reproduction Michelin tires in our favorite VR

15 ratings in 280 to 315 sizes, as I recall.  I left the catalog at home,

but I can come up with the exact models this evening if I remember :) >>

>>>They're actually importing them from France.  They are TB-15 race tires; 
nominally road-legal, but undoubtedly very short-lived.

Available sizes in15-inch:

170/65
215/55
270/45
295/40
335/35

The last two are suitable for the GT5 (front and rear), but all the remaining 
sizes really won't work for us.

FWIW I saw a factory Gr4 Ferrari Daytona in Paris a few months ago equipped 
with these tires, and it looked just plain dumb.  They were the perfect width 
and about three inches too short.
