[DeTomaso] Tires... P7

[Mike Drew]

Chuck,

You are FOS today. :)

Pirelli has never made a tire in 305/50. The P-7 was available in 275/60, 285/50 (standard issue for Euro Pantera with 10-inch rear wheels), and 285/40 and 345/35 for the front and rear of the GT5. They also made a 275/55 for Aston Martin. 

If you don’t believe me, you could look at the numbers printed on the sidewall in the photo you sent—285/50. :)

Having said all that, here is a photo of an ACTUAL 305/50, the BFG Euro T/A which is, as far as I know, the only tire ever made in that size.

I will send you high-res photos with closeups of the markings, which others should be encouraged to do as well. Keep up the good work!

Mike
