205-vr-15 tires/tyres

Any ideas where to find 205-vr-15 tires. I've been searching for years
(over a decade) with no luck. Don't bother suggesting Coker Tire. The
don't have them either.

Michelin, Pirelli, and Avon all made them up to some time in the '80's.
In addition to the Ferrari, I know various models of Iso, Lamborghini,
and Bentley have used the same size. Odd that none of the tire
manufacturers will do a run of them.

If there is no specification of height in the tire size, like 205VR15, it is
always a "80" series tire, like 205/80/15, higher than the 205/70/15 XWX.
Avon has a 205HR15:

(I'm sure bilhartz knows this) but that is not the proper speed rating then.
