[DeTomaso] Re 17 tire scarce?

[Mark McWhinney]

315 = 12.4 inches
335 = 13.2 inches

Assuming you have an 11 inch rim, you would have an 0.7 inch overhang with
the 315 and an 1.1 inch overhang with the 335.  Either one works, though I
think that 335 is pushing the limit and certainly does not help the car's
under steer.

I'm running 315/35/17 Pilot Sports and no one has said anything to me
about needing bigger tires. . .
