OK Steve & Tom

Here's more information for you to digest. I hope it helps both of you.

I began by surveying every possible tire that was the proper width and diameter for the front or rear of the Pantera, designed for wheels 15" diameter through 20" diameter.



Once I determined which sizes were available and which sizes weren't, I began grouping front tires with every possible rear tire; the rear tires had to be between 1.7" to 2.3" greater in diameter than the diameter of the front tires. Those groupings became the basis of my master list. The master list was an intermediate step, it was not intended to be made public "as-is". The first tire list I posted, my "final list", is based on this "master list". The two right hand columns show the availability of matched sets at the Tire Rack and at On-Line Tires.

I'm sharing the master list below so you can see my criteria for a tire set, you'll understand why some tire sets were not considered, you can see all the tire sets I did consider, including those tire sets which were omitted from the final list due to the lack of tire set availability (some were omitted for other reasons as well). David perhaps you'll see why I haven't recommended 235 cross-section front tires in the past, its not because I don't like the size, I do. They are the max width tire that can be installed without rubbing at "full-lock" or during cornering, I get it. And their ~24.5 OD is a good match for many rear tires. Examining the master list however will reveal that the availability of front/rear sets utilizing tires with 235mm cross-section has been poor.
