[DeTomaso] Pantera GT5-S Wheels On Ebay

[Andy May]

Yoko told me when I bought my last batch that they would not be doing any
more due to the low demand, but they've said that before - I am selling
around one pair a month but not for detomaso's.

I was unaware that the TB's were being discontinued and find that
surprising if its true. Pirelli have also just released a P7 corsa in soft
compound/semi slick in the 285/40/15 size so clearly there is some
perceived demand.
