>>>Dale Eriksen has been running his factory Gr3 Pantera with SVRA for
years. He runs Hoosier R6 race tires, 225/50 and 275/50-15. He didn't bring
it to Arizona this year, instead running his street Pantera with ancient BFG
street tires.
It is very easy to find DOT legal race tires for Gr4-sized wheels.
Michelin makes the TB15 in sizes that equate to 295/40 and 335/35. They are a
perfect fit on a GT5 or Gr4. But your car isn't equipped with Gr4 flares or
super-wide wheels and therefore Dale's tires would be perfect for you.
They are readily available from Tire Rack etc. They also offer a 245/50 if
you want a bit more meat in the front, although clearance can sometimes be an
issue with tires that large, and the front fender flares may need to be
massaged outwards somewhat.
Mike
