[DeTomaso] Tire question

Thanks for the info--I don't use my car on the track, but I have been known to drive it thousands of miles across the country to Fun Rallys, so I need tires that are Z rated since I might hypothetically drive rapidly.
Aren't Hoosiers lower-speed tires?
Sincerely,
Chris

I use Hoosier R7's. 225/50 in front and 275/50 in rear. They work great for racing and so far have no complaints at all and are turning very competitive lap times.
Presently, you won't be able to buy Avon's due to supply issues ...at least we can't. Roger Krause says they hard to get and he is only supplying his best customers.
The R7's are much cheaper, last forever with little lap time def, and are easy to get.
Anyway, that's what we use.

Hi Jeff,
Roger Kraus recommended the same setup you describe with the 215 60 on
the front. You said you went with a 245 50 on the front, but isn't
that taller than a 215 60?
Thanks,
Chris

When I upgraded, there were no matching speed rated tires except
Avons.
BACK: Avon 15" CR6ZZ are 295/50 are high speed rated - R IIRC. Look
and handle great.
FRONT: Avon 15" CR6ZZ 215/60 same as above. I mounted them but they
look somewhat out of proportion to my eye. /60 is too thin and too
tall. I switched to a Michelin speed rated tire 245/50R15 - sorry,
don't remember the model, car is in the shop. Car looks balanced and is
balanced on the track.
Pirelli Cinturato Classics are new to me. Would like hear more
details.
Good to hear car coming along.

Subject: [DeTomaso] Tire question
Hi everyone,
I haven't been contributing much to the Pantera community for a
long
while because my car has been undergoing an extensive
restoration.
Thanks for understanding; once I get my car back I'll return once
again
to the realm of the Pantera faithful.
At this point the light at the end of the tunnel is shining
brightly,
and it appears my car should be done very soon.
However, the tech who has been working on it told me when he took
it
for a test drive recently the tires were so hard it was almost
dangerous to corner!
I know there have been a lot of tire discussions over the years,
and
now I'm hoping someone will remember the solution to my tire
question,
which I'm sure has been dealt with already: Is it possible for
me to
find new tires which are Z, W, or Y rated in the sizes 225 50 15
(front), and either 295 50 15 or 285 50 15 (rear)?
I'm not overly concerned with the price if I can get the sizes I
need,
but obviously if I can find something reasonably priced, that
would be
good.
Thanks, I appreciate your help!
Sincerely,
Chris
