Tires for Pantera 10X15" 14X15" rims

No, but I'd love to hear if you find a solution.
I'm running Michelin TB's on the front and Pirelli's on the back (345's). I like the Pirelli's, but they don't make a front.

I have wrote to Hoosier to ask if they have right tires for our rims.
I let you know

What size are your front tires?

Are you talking about street tyres or race tyres ?

Avon makes them

I am looking for absolutely any brand that makes a 295/40r15 for the fronts and a 345/35r15 for the rear.
I really just want to be able to run matching front a rear tires!

They don't exist.

Yokohama has the molds for what you want, but they are no longer willing to make them.

I am personally running 255x45 and 345x35 (Michelin and Pirelli). Close as you can get in current date coded tires. Unwilling to run tires that have timed out because of age.

Avon's on the street are illegal here in the US and if you feel them, thin as paper. I personally would not want to run over a nail with one. Lights out.

Michelin TB15 makes 295/40/15 street legal tires for the front and 335/35/15 for the rear but they are damn expensives :/

The prices on the Michelin TB5 or TB15 have come down significantly in the US, that said they are still slightly cheaper from Longstone Tyres in the UK, even if you are in the US! They have free shipping and no VAT on sales outside the EU.

Don't use their currency converter it is way off.

Ron McCall has a set of Avons hand cut with tread and said he prefers them to the Michelins. Roger Kraus racing in Castro Valley, CA will hand cut a set for you.

I have found another possiblity... Hoosier Road Racing Slicks.

Hoosier 43586. 24.5 tall, 13.75 tread
Hoosier 43571. 23.0 tall, 9.5 tread

Some of you have mixed and matched front and rear tires.

Could you please comment on your combination and the performance?

A simple or complicated answer will work...any data is good data.

Rubber compound softness, sidewall stiffness, tire pressures used, grip, handling balance, weight, fit on the wheel, actual width, pictures, etc.

Thanks!

Lash, I've never found suitable tires front & rear from the same mfgr for 8" & 10" Campys, so I've ALWAYS run 'mismatched' combinations for both track and road. For a year, we ran Hoosier DOT belted-bias rears (275-50) and Yokohama radials (225-50) up front on a 450-horse Pantera, in both street and autocross. Zero handling problems once we figured out that belted bias tires need air pressures lowered to tune while radials need pressures increased to tune. We won more events than we lost that year but the Hoosiers were scrap after 1000 miles. They were DOT legal with a ZERO tread wear rating.

I don't advise running mismatched combos across the car- eg- one radial and one belted-bias each sidem on the front or rear. Weird, uncontrollable things may happen. But front-to-back= no problem.

Boss, great reminder.

Anyone else with data on widebody Pantera tire combinations?

If you already have a set of Yoko and P Zero 345s, what possibilities work on the front? 285 front Yokos are very hard to find.

I'm inclined to try the Pirelli P7 Corsa Classic in the D3 (harder) compound.

Thanks,
LSJ

Michelin MXW 255/45-15. The width difference is negligible. 285's do not exist anymore.

Tire Rack has date code 345's for $125. a tire on sale right now.

Panterapatt, why the Michelin MXW and not the 285/40-15 Pirelli P7 Corsa Classic D3?

I dont know that the Pirelli Corsa is available in the US and it looked to me like a race tire with minimal tread. The Michelin was readily available and has a nice tread pattern for the street.

They also handle quite nicely.

Bought them at Summit Racing who gets them from Coker.

Thanks for the tip on the 345's. That is a great deal. I just ordered two of them. The sales rep stated that have a 2012 mfg. date and and have a warranty on them.

I have considered the new 285 P7 Corsa's as well. At least the fit would be correct.

Longstone Tyres might carry them.

I would buy more 345's but what would you do with them since I have 2012 date coded right now.

I gave up on 15's long ago.
I run P-Zero Nero's in the front and Nitto NT05's in the rear, 225/35/18 and 285/35/18
