I retract what I said. If you start digging you can find something like these and others similar.....
Dunlop DIREZZA ZIII But are they true road race tires. They say "Extreme Performance Summer" tires. At least they have a nice modern tread pattern ![]() https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQiNibYzTQo Another example.... Toyo PROXES R888R Racetrack & Autocross Only .

And when you start looking at some of these extreme performance and racetrack & autocross only 15-inch tires take note of their overall diameters.

Our first tires we took to the drag strip where Hoosier NASCAR road course tires. Hoosier makes them with street tread in 15” tires that look pretty good. I seriously doubt any of them are dot approved. I bet they would pass dot with flying colors if Hoosier went after the dot market.
https://www.hoosiertire.com/assets/Asphalt3.pdf Your 77 T/A ‘s would look good with 17” wheels though. I know switching to 17” snowflakes has been on my radar for my 77. My high speed jaunt was on new tires, we were late for a college entrance exam. Needless to say that was a few year ago. All my cars with old tires all I ask they hold air and make it up and down my county road.
