The BFG Radial T/As are definitely made in USA, and also feature one side RWL and one side black sidewall. I'm running these in the rear and BFG G-force in the front. The treads look very similar. All 4 tires are stock size and made in USA.

Can you guys not get General Grabber HP tires stateside? They're an American tire, and pretty much the only one available in the right size in the UK.

I notice that a couple of manufacturers such as Bridgestone and General Grappers are offered in 255 60 R15, would a 255 fit on the DMC rim, it's only 20mm wider, would that be an issue?Originally Posted by jerzybondov
[Edit] Think I may have answered my own question, looks like 245 is max recomended size for an 8" rim.

I recently put Pirelli P600 on the rear, replacing the Yokohamas
They are the correct size and perform outstanding
Only drawback is there are no fronts available

You can also mount an 265/50 r16 on the original DMC rim.
Looks fantastic, has the same diameter than the 225/60 R16, at my car no rubs, but (at the moment) not legal in Germany.

Are you sure you've got your sizes correct? You cannot mount a 16" tire on a 15" rim.

We're starting to get off topic here since the OP is looking for 235/60 R15's, but I'd be interested to see a photo of what the 265/50 R15's look like. That's gotta be super wide and meaty looking.
I saved this photo from somewhere that's labeled as a 265 and based on the sidewall height it looks like it might be a 50 aspect ratio tire. I don't think a 265/60 R15 would fit.
Another random photo I have saved is this car with 255/60/R15's and the sidewall looks huge:
Compare to 245/60 R15's on the screen used A car DeLorean time machine
And here are the stock size 235/60 R15 Cooper Cobras on my car:

And since I'm in my folder of tire photos, if you're still considering the cooper cobras the photos online always show you the RWL side of the tire. Here's a detailed photo of what the black wall side of the tire looks like.
That's right...they have f-ing cobras molded into the tire
