[DeTomaso] Tires

Tue May 6 18:16:55 EDT 2014

Michael,

No track time, just driving the car for fun.  I get spirited with controls,
but I will still have my Euro T/As on the rear so I'm limited.  One of my
front Euro T/As failed internally.  The car started shaking and pulling
pretty hard.  When I pulled the side it was pulling to off, you could easily
see the circumference of the outer side of the tire was larger than the
inside corner.  It made a distinct left turn when rolled on an flat and even
surfaceŠ

I have used Pirelli, Kumho and Falken, no real complaints with any of them
for basic driving,
how will they be used?

I have both Pirelli P-Zeros (335/35/17) on one set of wheels on the car now
and use the other set of Kumho's (315/35/17) for road trips like Tail of the
Dragon, I feel they are more sticky on those roads.
