*sharp*

Hi Mark, I'm am running Pirelli's - P6000's, not the Sport Veloce, but
the summer compound, on my stock TR6 wheels, size P206-65-15, and I love
them, they stick to the road like glue, which is exactly what I wanted.

I believe diameter with redlines is 26.4".

I run 205/65 on 15x6 Panasports. Very happy with this setup.
Diamater
is 25.5", which is shorter but only by 3% or so. Besides, how
accurate
is a stock TR6 speedo anyway? If you are really concerned,
Rimmer
offers professional rebuilding and recalibration for any tire
size and
rear end ratio.

Thought about doing 16x7 Panasports, but am worried about
rubbing.
Some people have no troubles, others don't. I also have the
rear
one-piece tube shock conversion, and am worried that 16x7 would
rub the
shock bracket.

There are some good high-performance tires available in 15 and
16 inch
diameters. Spend some time on tirerack.com. Great info, great
prices.
I got Bridgestone Potenza RE930s from them, very happy with
these
tires.
