There is definatly such a size as 285/50/15. A batch came into the country [yokies] a few months ago and lots of ppl off these forums run that size (SLR304 is one that springs to mind). Aparently its a porche size and they are highly sought after. The closest thing now is 275/40/15, as far as I know they are readily available. I've got 295/50s on mine but they are slightly too big, im trying to chase up some 285/50s.
What I've been wondering is if MT or Hoosier ect make those street slicks in an equivilent size. Ocasionally a batch of 285s come in though so keep your ears open.

Recently? I enquired about them a few months ago [345/40/15] and they guy said something around $970 each and that was my mates dads tyre shop so i think that was what he gets them for. He said they've gotta be imported. Thats yokies, dunno about other brands (if any)a mate of mine was running 345 40 15 on his LX and they were $750 a pair
cheers

CHOPPER does know. There were 285/40R15 and 345/35R15 Pirellis and Yokohamas freely available. Not so these days. QIKSLR seems to think there are 275/40R15's available. Not that I know of. 275/40's are available in 17 - 20". And as far as the 295/30/18's that mra9x was talking about, if you want to fork out $3K on rear wheels and tyres...Chopper may know the answer to this, but was there ever such a size? I thought that once you got over 265 you had to go to 60 series, as the proportions of a tyre that wide it's impossible to get a lower profile. Happy to be wrong on that though.

can you get 275 or 285 in the 40% range at all?

I drive past there quite reguarly, i could double check the trading name if you want.Andrews Traction Tyres in Rowville VIC got a few sets of 285/40R15 Yokohamas earlier this year. Whether there are any left is another matter. The business has since changed it's trading name, so he may be tricky to find in the Yellow Pages.
