[DeTomaso] New 15" tires for 10" Campys - resend

 D'oh!  I'm just happy there are some additional options available.  Clearly NOT a performance tire, but better speed rating than the BFG's.  It would be interesting to do a handling comparison between the 2 sets of tires on the same car on the same course.
I used to have BFG Radial TA (front) and Euro TA (rear) on my car and they did NOT inspire confidence!  They were super slippery in any turn.  When I switched to the Toyo Proxies years ago, my Pantera became an entirely different car...  all of a sudden I could take corners at speed, with confidence that the car wasn't going to slide off the line.
Anyway, I hope you guys are doing well Paul and Lashdeep.  Maybe we'll get to catch up at the Monterey Historic Races next year (hopefully) and we can pontificate tires over a few beers.  :)

 Paul, you could also use them as a cutting board for meats or cheese.

   D'oh!  I'm just happy there are some additional options available.
   Clearly NOT a performance tire, but better speed rating than the
   BFG's.  It would be interesting to do a handling comparison between the
   2 sets of tires on the same car on the same course.
   I used to have BFG Radial TA (front) and Euro TA (rear) on my car and
   they did NOT inspire confidence!  They were super slippery in any
   turn.  When I switched to the Toyo Proxies years ago, my Pantera became
   an entirely different car...  all of a sudden I could take corners at
   speed, with confidence that the car wasn't going to slide off the line.
   Anyway, I hope you guys are doing well Paul and Lashdeep.  Maybe we'll
   get to catch up at the Monterey Historic Races next year (hopefully)
   and we can pontificate tires over a few beers.  :)
