It doesn't seem like spam when the spammer is working towards providing members of this community with a commodity so desperately needed. Continue on with our blessing and support.

We've asked for our email address to be added to your list.

Pantera International advocates the same make and model of tires for front and rear. We hope we are on the same page. We've reviewed your De Tomaso Pantera Page, we found a few tire offerings a bit strange, there was a 245mm tire, a 205/70 tire, even a tire for 16 inch wheels. The P7 street tires for wide bodies are missing? Here's our summation and edit, we've included the tires amongst your inventory which we believe are apropos :

Please compare this list to the tires listed on your Pantera web page. 

1971 to 1972 Early Model Panteras (Push Button and Pre-L), Pantera GTS, Group 3 Pantera

Set Offered:
Michelin XWX – 185/70VR15 + 215/70VR15 +++

Alternate Set Offered:
Avon CR6ZZ – 185/70VR15 + 215/70VR15 (race tires) 

1972-1/2 to 1977 Pantera L, Pantera GTS, Group 3 Pantera

Alternate Set Offered:
Avon CR6ZZ –215/60VR15 + 275/55VR15 (alternate sizes, race tires)

There is no "non-race" front and rear tire set available. A Pirelli CN12 in 205/60WR15 would complete a set when combined with the 255/60WR15 tire already produced in that model. The set would provide an excellent alternative "tire set" to the BF Goodrich  tires owners presently turn to.

1977 to 1984 Pantera GTS, Group 3 Pantera
also 1980 to 1986 Longchamp GTS

This is a small diameter tire set, both tires are about an inch smaller in diameter than the tires originally installed on the narrow body Panteras. They fit the fender arches differently … there is a larger gap between the fenders and the tires.

Pirelli P7  and Pirelli P Zero are offered in 225/50YR15 or 225/50ZR15 … BUT A MATCHING REAR TIRE IS NOT AVAILABLE.  Thus there is no tire set available. None!  A Pirelli P7 or P Zero in 285/50ZR15 is desperately needed. Thank You for your efforts in this matter.

Avon CR6ZZ "classic" street legal radial racing tires are available in two sets of alternative size tires. These tires are larger in diameter than the P7s however:

Alternate Sets Offered:
Avon CR6ZZ –215/60VR15 + 275/55VR15 (alternate sizes, race tires)
Avon CR6ZZ – 215/60VR15 + 295/50VR15 (alternate sizes, race tires)

1978 to 1990 Pantera GTS/4, GT4, GT5, GT5-S

Set Offered:
Pirelli P7 – 285/40YR15 + 345/35ZR15 +++

By the way what kind of picture did you have in mind?

A solo Pantera, or a group of them. Stock or custom? In motion or setting still. On a race track? With a model, the owner, just the car? Outdoor setting. Something "classic" looking, or contemporary.

How about Sir Jackie posed with his Pantera?

Keep in mind most of these images are available in larger file sizes than what the forum software presents:

George, I believe for the 1972-77 Panteras a Pirelli CN12 215/60/15 would be exactly OEM with a height of 25". The  205/60 is 2% smaller than OEM. 

I believe such a tire would make a great impact within the Pantera community, making it possible to use the original (my first choice) wheels again. Anyone else out there interested?

Dougal, what would it take to convince Pirelli to manufacture a CN12 for the front of the Pantera? 

The 205/60R15 and 255/60R15 are the metric equivalents to the Arriva C60V15 and H60V15 tires. I believe the Pantera's door tag will reinforce this.

No argument that the C60V15 Arriva and its metric equivalent 205/60VR15 are smaller in diameter than the 185/70VR15. Likewise the 255/60R15 rear tire is the metric equivalent of the H60V15 Arriva, but neither of them are the same diameter as the 215/70VR15.

I could personally be happy with either size front tire. However, FYI - every once in a while I hear of a 215/60R15 tire rubbing in a fender arch ...  whereas the C60V15 Arriva it replaced did not rub. This is due to the variation in the dimensions of the production cars and the variation in the diameter of tires.

I noticed De Tomaso hasn't been added to a couple of the "Find Your Car" features yet:

Perhaps this will help with filling-in the catalog of De Tomaso road cars

Hi All

I have recently heard from Pirelli. I am now expecting the 285/50R15 P7 in April.

I will let you know how things develop.

Great news!

Hi everyone, it's April, do you have any news from 285/50/15
