Unfortunately with the stock 15 in wheels, your selection is severley limited and the tires that are available are really for just cruising since they pretty much all are marginal at best rated S (112 MPH) or T (118 MPH). I used 255/60/15 BFG radial T/A's for years but finally got sick of the marginal performance and purchased a set of SLP's ZR-1 style rims for the C3's in the 17 inch size and now run 255/45/17 ZR's (168 MPH) Kuhmos in the front and 255/50/17 ZR Kuhmos in the rear. The difference in performance in regards to steering response, handling, and ride is priceless-like a modern sports car! Believe me I tried to hold on as long as possible with the OEM rims but when I saw the SLP rims/ZR tires on them and drove the car with the new combo, I have never looked back!

if you are not very performance minded , stay with BFG radial T/A . not bad even with the +450hp of my car. bad experience instead with Goodyear eagle GT...
if you drive fast or enjoy spirited driving or you have good HP , follow the advises of jb78-l82 if you like 17" rims or go for Avon cr6zz ( my choice, V rated) with 15".
