IIRC the term "cosmetic performance" came right out of my BFG training materials back in the day.

There are no performance 255/60/15s. Was that OE on C3s? Might be, I forget. I do remember putting that size on those cars though.

Pirlelli probably still makes a V rated P6000 as the P6 or P600 version was OE on some 5 series BMWs. After that the choices narrow quickly. Might be some speed rated 225/60/15s out there, but I don't like any cars that fits well on lol.

There are speed rated 225/70/15 (2nd gen OE hoops) because of Jags and cop cars. I bet Pirelli, Goodyear and Michelin all make ones that size, But who cares lol. Actually, whatever they call an MXV4 now might ride nice on a cruiser!
