[DeTomaso] Maxxis 15-inch tires for the Pantera

[MikeLDrew at aol.com]

Hi guys,

A few weeks ago I posted information and links about V-rated 295/50-15 and 
almost-matching 225/50-15 tires from a tire company called Maxxis.   I've 
recently learned that they revamped their website so none of the links work anymore.

Here is the link to the rear tires (295/50-15)

and the front tires (225/50-15)

It's odd that the rear tires are listed as being H-rated, yet the pair that I 
recently eyeballed in France (pictured below on a 10x15 Campagnolo Pantera 
wheel):

are very clearly marked as being V-rated, as you can plainly see from this 
close-up:

Why would the same tire be marked/marketed as an H-rated tire for the US 
market??? :<(
