[DeTomaso] Tire Buying Time

[www.PanteraPlace .com]

Mike,

Dunlop makes a SP Sport 8000 in a 335/35ZR17 and a 245/45ZR16 for the front.
The 245/45ZR16 have been in high demand and selling briskly. They will be
available at your dealer the week of July 17, 2006 and at this point
apparently Dunlop thinks it is a winner and will continue make them.  I'm
not sure what other cars use the 245/45ZR16 but there must be a lot of them.
Although many of us think the 245/45ZR16 is the perfect Pantera front tire,
I doubt Dunlop is making them just for us!       

I've been running them on my Pantera and have been pleased with them.   

For the other guys looking for 15" Z rated tires.  I gave up on using my
Pirelli contact because I couldn't get an agreement on what sizes we needed
for the front and back.  I didn't think it was worth while pursuing more
than one front tire size and one back tire size.
