Wow, just got the Michelin TB Course 270/45 R15 tires for the rally rims. They're badass looking

yeah, work is now out so here are some pics.
Here's the English size designation. Their section width is dead on 10.6" wide which fits a 9" rim nicely.

End of view. The tire patch is just over 9" wide with 3/4" of tire overhang back to the rim.

Metric Designations and TB5 Racing.

Height. about 24.5" tall

unfortunately no (unless more of you squeeze them onto 8" wheels).
They are the only tire I've seen which fits on the 15x9s aside from pure Hoosier slicks, and they're original fitment for old Group B cars. I wish they were about 1/2 their current cost. They're wide and soft which means they'll grip like crazy.

If you have a wide 16" rim or want to fit them on a 7" wide 15" rim
they're ideal. I think the checker rally tires are DOT legal as that is the whole point of the treads being on there.<ul><li><a href="http://www.michelinsport.com/sport/front/templates/affich.jsp?codeRubrique=600&lang=EN">http://www.michelinsport.com/sport/front/templates/affich.jsp?codeRubrique=600&lang=EN</a</li></ul>

Maybe I need to
straighten out a set of the wide rims after all. I've got a pile of them, but I doubt any of them is anywhere close to round.
I was looking at the Michelin N's before, but these might well do me fine.

Got me thinking now
I don't really need them that wide. Most of my rims are 8" and I don't have that many 9"&10". Most of those are pretty shot too.
