[DeTomaso] New Tires

[Jack Donahue]

Just yesterday I took delivery of front  - 245/40 - ZR17  &  335/35 - ZR17 - rear - from Tirerack.com <http://tirerack.com/>  - Michelins ($1275.00)  - last night I just had to take my last ride through the mountains with the same sized P-7’s just to see the difference once the M’s are installed. I suspect the M's to be a lot softer - the P-7’s, although in good shape, are enough years old to be (maybe) too hard/brittle - for me. All my local tire shops said they could not find the 335’s anywhere and tried to lead me to believe they no longer existed - but after 30 seconds on the computer (TireRack.com <http://tirerack.com/>) they were on the way & delivered in two days.

-------------- next part --------------
   Just yesterday I took delivery of front  - 245/40 - ZR17  &  335/35 -
   ZR17 - rear - from [1]Tirerack.com  - Michelins ($1275.00)  - last
   night I just had to take my last ride through the mountains with the
   same sized P-7's just to see the difference once the M's are installed.
   I suspect the M's to be a lot softer - the P-7's, although in good
   shape, are enough years old to be (maybe) too hard/brittle - for me.
   All my local tire shops said they could not find the 335's anywhere and
   tried to lead me to believe they no longer existed - but after 30
   seconds on the computer ([2]TireRack.com) they were on the way &
   delivered in two days.

       Any suggestions? What kind and where to buy?
       The only found so far are "track" tires....

       I doubt I'll ever track my car, so.....
       Any help would be greatly appreciated.
