Curt,

245/40-17 front, 335/30-18 rear. If you can find a 235/40-17 for the front,
even better because it's a bit shorter.

The lower the UTQG number, the softer the rubber compound and the quicker it
will wear. For a Pantera, the highest UTQG that's suitable is about 300
(IMO). FYI, Porsche 911 OEM tires have a UTQG of 220.
