DeTomaso Mailing List: February 99, Message #11

Dennis,

A couple of questions:

1.  Was there a weight requirement rating on the tires used for silver 
state, I.E. some of the yoko avs stuff would NOT meet?

2.  Is there anyone on your team with experience in running 17 x 11 
campy copies with the 315 - 35 - 17 size tire?  Are there any rubbing 
concerns with this size tire.  Do the fender lips need to be rolled in 
the rear to run this size tire with stock springs?

3.  Same question except 15 x 8 campy front with 225 - 50 - 15. (lip 
already rolled in front)

TIA
Brent 4130
