I have Pirellis on my 67 Camaro.  They're Z-rated.  I think they're around 
28 inches in diameter...but I'd have to check to make sure.  That was about 
the only brand I could find with a Z rating for 15 inch rims.  I bought 
them last summer...and then had the quadruple bypass, so I never got a 
chance to try them in the USFRA 130 mph class.  Maybe this year.

If you want I can get the particulars on them tomorrow when it's light.  I 
tried www.tirerack.com but couldn't find a Z rated tire in 15 inch 
size...but I may just have missed it.
