[DeTomaso] 15" Pantera tire sizes

[Mark Tumbarello]

255's are a little narrow on 10 inch rims, 275's maybe better. I happen to 
own 8 and 10 inch campy's.So 255's are not really an option. I know people 
currently running 305's on 8 inch rims which are a major mis-match . I'm 
running them on 10 inch rims and I think they are a little wide.. I'm not 
sure which is better to run a narrow rim with a wide tire or a wide rim with 
a narrow tire.
Anyway if both could be reproduced that would be great. If not I hope there 
is a good compromise.  Mark
