Me? I'm still in the dark ages with 285/40x15 and 345/35x15 Yokohama AVS on

9 and 12 inch wheels. Can't bring myself to throw them away and go for the

latest and greatest... I've got 32,000 miles on the car since rebuild and

I'm on my third set of tires. First ones were P7's and they disappeared

fast... The last two sets have been AVS because I can't find anything else

that fits!



But I have been toying for months now on swapping the Longchamp's Campy

copies for the real thing and using the copies for 'racing wheels' fitted

with R1's for the Pantera.



They're still 15" though...



Decisions, decisions...



FWIW,



Kirby
