My white Pantera needs rear tires. It currently has 335/35/17 Michelin
Pilot SX tires. Looks like the choices for non-race tires are:
Michelin Pilot Sport PS2
$443 each tirerack.com
220 treadwear rating
Y speed rating
Treadepot.com has PS2's listed for $447 with free shipping
Pirelli PZero System
$480 each tirerack.com
140 treadwear rating
Y speed rating
Treadepot.com has Pzeros listed for $412 with free shipping
Dunlop Sport 8000
335/35ZR17
$487 each www.1010tires.com
200 treadwear rating
I prefer the 335/35/17 size but if I drop to a 315/35/17 size, there are
several less expensive tires to choose from:
Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3
315/35/17
Y speed rating
280 tread wear rating
$292.00 (Back Order)
Dunlop SP Sport 8000
315/35ZR17
W Speed Rating
Treadwear: 200
$316.00 (each) Back Order
Sumitomo HTR Z
315/35ZR17
Treadwear: 160
$99.00 (each) In Stock
Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta
315/35ZR17
280 tread wear rating
Y speed rating
$169 each at www.performanceplustire.com
Looking through the old posts, I saw some discussion about the
Sessantas. They have 225/45Z/17, 235/45/17 and 245/45/17 sizes
for the front in the $130-$135 range so I could get a set of 4 for
around $600, considerably cheaper than just a pair of 335/35/17 rear
tires. Anyone running these on a Pantera yet?
Thanks,
Dan Jones
