[DeTomaso] tire pressure help needed-Jim brings up a GOOD point

[Curt Hall]

Garth...
 
I've owned many BFG's, had some of the first T/A's back in the 70's.They were the tire to have back then. Since  then the quality has gone down IMO. But you're right, today's modern compound tires are much better! And companies like BFG need to step up there game! At least with the High Performance tires?
 
So...how's the engine coming along?

FWIW, BFG Radial TA's are crappy tires!  They offer little to no traction
compared to 
modern tires and tire compounds.  I couldn't believe how differently my
Pantera drove when 
I mounted the Toyo tires on the original Campys.  I will never put Radial
TA's or Euro TA's 
on any car!
 
And yes, I would like at set of Campy clones with Michelin Pilot Sport tires,
but that's just 
not in the budget now.  Maybe next year.  I've gotta finish the engine
rebuild first.
 
Cheers!
Garth
