The pirelli P zero is available in 285/40/17, so i think this is the best option for a 17 inch rear.

Bit of a thread resurrection but the 225/45/16 P700 is now available. Not cheap.....
However it does mean that you can now get a set of Pirellis in:
285/40/17 (P Zero asim) tread pattern:
225/45/16 (P 700) tread pattern:
Which is a good replacement for the old Toyo R1Rs which are no longer available.
The sticking point is the £1400 you'll need to pay for a full set!!!!

Let alone t' extra cost of t' fronts. And tha wonders why I don't carry spare!
Sometimes, I like being really tight and poor.
Like the Stratos watch thread, this is another one of those occasions
Jim, I'll accept you can be tight (being Scottish and all that) but I'm not buying your 'poor' claim for one minute!
Just for comparison 335/35 x 15 v 275/40 17, 15" v 17", and 205/50 x 15 v 215/45 16
That 335 is a proper sized tyre!
Its actually a 345, Lambo Countach rear originally I believe.

Correct Craig! And even the lowly 12v Alfa has enough power/torque to break traction..... In 30 years my car has had 225.50.15 on the back followed by the 345.35.15 on conversion to Group 4. Initially I had Yokohamas but the car was awful in the wet, you could feel it almost floating. Horrible. A switch to the Pirelli Assimetricos changed that completely.

I wish to complain about this blatant stereotyping of Yorkshireman. 'Me being one.
