[DeTomaso] Pantera GT5S *seventeen* inch wheels

[Charles McCall]

Yes, it was Gotti (which is a French company)

 

They may be a distributor, or a retailer, but I was happy to see that there are fresh tires out there, and if need be I could buy new tires. Here’s a photo – calling it the Holy Grail may be a little strong, but I’d be happy to find more!

By the way, at Le Mans Classic 2012 there was a vendor with Brand new
Yokohama 285-40-15's for sale for what seemed like a reasonable Price of
roughly €350. The vendor was in France, but that means that new tires are
out there if you look. I took photos of the tire (to prove the exist) and
the business card of the vendor, if someone is really interested in buying
tires...



>>>I spoke to them again this year.  (The vendor is Gotti Wheels, BTW).  They confessed that they were buying the tires out of Germany and then reselling them.  They suggested the smart move was to find a German source as apparently they are still being made to satisfy the German market.
