[DeTomaso] Maxxis 15-inch tires for the Pantera

[asajay at asajay.com]

Sorry, my mistake.  What he told me, and which I promptly  
misunderstood at a later date, was that the "Z" in the P-metric size,  
did not indicate the proper speed rating, which was now indicated in  
the suffix, i.e. 90"Y" or 102"W".  Reading through the links made me  
remember exactly what it is he -did- tell me.
