Good news Michelin have just reintroduced the TB15+ 345x35x15 although Longstone Tyres are advertising it still as 335x35x15 only found this out at the Circuit of Ireland Rally while talking to Michelin.

Just to add to this old discussion, there's a fair number of rally drivers using Cooper Tyres (Tires, natch) these days, which are certainly more cost-effective than the Pirelli and Michelin rally slicks many top drivers use.
Of interest to some Strat owners maybe, they do a few options in 15" diameter, including 285/40x15

Need to go to specialist motorsport tyre suppliers to source these, but that's not a problem.
Useful link here, although I'd assume 285/40 x 15 is unfortunately a bit too narrow for 12" wide Stratos rears?
Cooper do these which aren't; but NB low speed-rating, and classification as more fit for use on 4x4s or Mustangs:

Wow, most shopping trolleys do more than that: "S:Approvedup to 112 mph"
Would make for quite a meaty looking Stradale bodied car!

re Cooper Tarmac Rally Tyres CT01 called Cooper Tyres in regards to their website listed 235/45R15 285/40R15 was told only the 235 are available.
The 285 was planned by production has been canceled, apparently the old Avon plant will close some time this year.
Waltham Tyres were very helpful, they may have Hoosier DOT race tyres available soon be interesting to see price point v P7 Corsa
