To fully incorporate the period correct approach , would also mean racing on period correct tire rubber compound.

I personally would favour "Safety" OVER "period correct"!!!...Mark

Not to worry.

The Avon tires (tyres) were made for that reason. They look period correct but actually work quite well even in the wet. They in fact stick much better than even the "summer only" street tread patterns.

Even the BFG T/A's have an improved tread compound since they were purchased by Michelin. Many race teams of the era were using them as "racing wets" back in the day.

Since the Pantera is a "'70s" vehicle you could argue for either tire as "period correct"...just sayin', so you should know and feel safe about the "vintage look"?
