May be of interest if you have an FIA (or the dreaded 427 shape ) .
Trip to NorthHants Tyres yesterday and got a set of 255/60 15" V-rated Galaxys for the rear.
Fitting was pre-booked.
I also got the Galaxy 235s I already had on the Jag wheels for IVA swapped over onto the front Trigo wheels - fiver each for the swap.
The guys couldn't be more helpful asking me if I wanted black or silver weights for balancing the wheel, even though these are out of sight on the rear, and whether I wanted the valves lined up with the tyre writing. Excellent social distancing through out.
Just over £100 for each tyre.
Pic of 255s below mocked up with a Simon rear hub and one of Gerry's bronze spinners.

Re: FIA owners: tyres
Are the other side of the tyres plain e.g. no white raised letters. Then you could choose to have the ‘Galaxy’ on the inside, out of sight.

Peter - correct.
The 235s I bought previously had the writing mounted on the inside, but my son liked the writing and asked me to put it that way round when we were at NorthHants Tyres yesterday.
My partner has informed me she doesn't like the writing and thinks its too 'boy-racer'. Can't please all of the people....

Re: FIA owners: tyres
I think it's brake cleaner spray that will remove the lettering, should you want to?
My local tyre place gave me that tip.
