[Land-speed] Tires...

I use a pair of autocross tires on the rear to transport my Vette, and have
used them on the dyno. No tread so they roll easy too.

I want to acquire a couple of tires that can serve double duty. I want then to
be used in an emergency on the salt in case one of the race car tires comes
off the rim or deflates or some qually disastrous event: I would put the spare
on to tow back to the pit. I also want to use the "spare s" on a chassis dyno.
To that end I would like to have at least a V speed rating and maybe Z. But so
far I have look at a zillion tires and not come up with anything So, I ask you
folk..... any of you have experience with any tire in the 15 inch wheel size,
large diameter, V or Z rated, skinny if possible, that would save me from
looking at another zillion tires? I need to order wheels so width is
adjustable right now...diameter is almost cast in concrete though.
HHHeeeeelllllppppp! mayf
