GT5 Tires

Yokohama has made batches of 1000 tires every now and then. I bought, um, 8 last time they made them as I knew they would become unavailable and expensive.

The Swedish DeTomaso club bought a moderate sized stock from that 1000 tire lot to keep DeTomaso enthusiasts with rubber for the next few years.

When you go to buy new tires, pay special attention to the date code on them, and avoid old tires. I had a brand new Pirelli P7R blow out on me in 20 miles. It was 12 years old. It could have been a rather ugly situation.

D&M Gauge restorations still had some 26/61-15 Michelin TB5

That's the wrong one. Size is 26/61-15 which are 295-40-15. These are on on front here (Which are not aired up or seated in the photo):

Ok, but 295 front and 355 rear if you have 13" wheels rear or I am missing something ?

I was only addressing the fronts because I know they are hard to find. D&M just had a few left.

My rears are Pireli P-Zero 345/35zr15

Question about the picture of the wheels in this email thread.

Macmange, are those old GT5 wheels are these the new ones being reproduced by Cesare Magistrali?

Thank you
