Ideally they would be 225 60 15, with a plain side wall (because he wants to redwall them) and an OK tread pattern for such a vehicle.

What's your recommendation, guys?

I used to have 225 60 15 G-grid 2 tyres on the Commodore. They were excellent and as common as muck. Only replaced them last year.
I went for a higher profile narrower tyre.

Yes. I think they are.

If he's not racing, Bridgestone Supercats are good all round tyres, I used to flog the crap out of them on my P76, wet and dry. Very predictable handling.
