If you want to go really crazy, Hoosier now has a 275/35x15 A6. Overall diameter is almost the same as the 225/45x15 size. Minimum wheel width is 9.00. I'm interested in trying these on my Spider, but anticipate wheel well clearance problems.

Plus, the 225/45 is getting more popular as the performance tire market is recognizing the need for that size in the popular Street Touring classes.
$550 is of course a lot of money, but cheap compared to a lot of the other alternatives for Milanos. And for custom, it's probably less than half.
Thanks for your input, it is greatly appreciated, and there are certainly no wrong issues to discuss here.
