[DeTomaso] Nitto tires and Pantera

[Asa Jay Laughton]

Hi Chuck,
As long as the Nitto is -not- the "R" Drag Radial model, then I imagine
it's a great tire.  The caution here is around the Nitto NT555R, which
is the drag radial.  If you plan to do any open track or open road
racing, the R model may not be allowed.  I know it's not allowed at
Silver State.

Nitto was one of the brands I was considering for my Pantera, but at the
time I could only get the drag radial, in the size I wanted, so I
passed.  Instead, I ran the Sumitomo HTZ III.  Happy camper, and they're
not real expensive.

   tires.   Good, Adequate, Bad, Ugly?
