215/50-15 P700z are OE fitment on the Ur-quattros with 8x15 wheels, that
size being the largest that you can fit without body rub during enthusiastic
driving.
How many other tyres are made in that size? I only know of two, Goodyear
Eagle and Yokohama AVS, the first are rare as hens teeth in the UK and the
second are mind-numbingly expensive so are also as rare as hens teeth.....
