On my 1974 TR6, I have Pirelli P4000
215/70R/15
mounted on Superlite 15x6 wheels.
My car is about one inch lower due to GoodPart springs.
No rubbing ever.
I like the way they fill out the wheel well, they handle fine in the dry, slippery in the wet. Still trying different tires pressures. Currently at 26 pounds all the way around. If you want to see a picture, send me a

Richard, I once had the same tire on my TR6. Correct you are on the handling. Really scary on wet, which we get a lot of down here. Gorgeous tire for filling the wheel well. The biggest downfall is they don't last. I got about 7000 miles out of mine. I don't drive like an old lady.
My current tires are Michelin Hydroedge 205/70R15. Unidirectional. Pricey but do everything right. Fill the well nicely with their square shoulders, ride good, great dry traction, superior wet traction. I autocrossed in them recently and was quite impressed with their stick. Oh, I came out 6th out of 9 in Dallas in my class, modified TR6. I had the coolest looking helmet there. Those gardeners are still talking about it to this day.
