[DeTomaso] New/old owner with tire/wheel questions.

[Larry Stock]

With 315/35-17 Hoosier street slicks I found best track pressures to be 39 front and 37 pounds rear.
If the front pressures got under 35 pounds, at parking speeds,  I found it noticeably harder resistance to turn the wheel for all customer Pantera's as well.

    With Michelin PS2s on 345/40/17 and 335/35/17 I run 35 PSI front and rear.
    I did mess around with those numbers starting at 30 and ending up at 35.
