There is a Yokohama 285/15/40 ZR (AVS series) available (for the rears, 

obviously) and they are very sticky...



>>>Actually, although they work on the rear (although look rather weird as

you say), they are actually designed for FRONT tire applications on cars such

as the GT5 Pantera, with a 15x10 front wheel.  (Anybody else think of another

car besides the Pantera using such a huge front tire?  The Countach uses a

225 front with 345 rear.)
