[DeTomaso] Tires

<<< but for the 225/50X15 they have the Proxes T1r at $96 or the Toyo Proxes Ra1 for $136. >>>
   
  They are options, but then it will be obvious that you have non-matching tires. The Proxes 4 
  treadblocks at the sidwall as well as the sidewall pattern are nearly identical to the Proxes 
  ST. The Proxes T1R and RA1 look completely different viewed from the profile and do not 
  look similar to the Proxes ST. Something to think about.
   
  Also, the Proxes ST is an H-rated tire and the Proxe 4 is a V rated tire. No need to look for 
  a W or Y rated tire for the front when you're running an H rated tire on the rear. The V-rated 
  Proxes 4 already more than meets the safety requirements for any street driven Pantera. If 
  you're running in ORR's and a class higher than "touring" (110 mph), you're going to need to 
  buy new wheels AND tires to get the necessary speed ratings. Otherwise, the Proxes 4 & 
  ST's will exceed your needs - and their light-years better than the BFG Euro TA's a lot of 
  folks are still running.
