When Lamborghini moved the Countach on to the 5000 QV model they increased the front tyre size to fit 225/50 VR 15 on the front and on the rear 345/35 VR 15 PIRELLI CINTURATO P7.

PIRELLI CINTURATO P7 Front & Rear Tyres
The Porsche 911 S/T was manufactured between 1970 and 1971, and was designed mainly for use in racing. The S/T was based on the 911 S, but with better engine options, upgraded suspension, and a great deal of weight removed.
One popular S/T setup we have seen has 8" front wheels and 225/50 VR 15 PIRELLI CINTURATO P7 tyres, with 9" rear wheels and 285/40 VR 15 PIRELLI CINTURATO P7 tyres, as seen in the pictures above.
Some 911 owners convert their cars by adding larger wheels and sportier tyres. This setup makes the 911 resemble a racing spec model like the S/T, with PIRELLI P7 classic tyres that also have their origins in racing. The P7 was first used as a Lancia Stratos rally tyre before adaption to commercial road use.
