[DeTomaso] Maximum Tire Height

[Mad Dog Antenucci]

Dan,

How long have we been talking about this?
You're being a retard.

 Don't put your safety or the safety of others at risk running untried or untested wheels and tires on the Pantera or on the road at high speeds before you have road tested them....You have 2 days before you need to be to Ely. Wait until next year.

if I can enter the Silver State Challenge this weekend and get taller 
tires/wheels on the rear to lower the rpm.
Due to the feedback I am going to look for speed rated tires that will fit 
my front rims (15" x 10") and keep the same low profile, to avoid rubbing.
I know the 285 40 15's are out of production but perhaps I can find 
something narrower.
