Tyre size question

[RFC1]

Front tyres for the Griff, 1992 on original 5 spoke alloys. Done the searches ,sore eyes now!!
Does nobody use 215/50/15's on the fronts as per owners manual?? Or is it down to the fact that only Dunlop sp9000 are available in the size and speed rating?
I am going for a new set of 4 tyres soon and want a tyre that is happy on the wet west of scotland roads.!

215 50 15s are difficult to get hold off the audi ur quattro uses them i think dunlop have some at the moment the only other firm making them was bridgestone (not sure if they have any at the moment i have been told they make a batch every now and then)
