Cant buy tires!!

[LubeDude]

Went looking for tires for the Pantera, 225 50 15 front, No problem, 325 60 15 rear, big problem! Knowone makes much in the performance tire anymore in the 15" sizes, have to go to 16 17"! Now this creates a big problem, as the tires on this thing although like new are 15 years old!

Lubedude,<br />What about Hemmings Motor News?<br />Surely there must be some tire resellers listed in that publication who can get you some leads to those tires. They are big boots but small diameter.<br />Makes it tricky to source and problem with that is the prices tend to go a bit silly with some of the rare bits.<br />Nice little car though and well worth keeping to original for value's sake.<br />I have seen a lot of those cars f/s in europe so if you could lay hands on some of the English classic car magazines I'm sure you would be successful.<br />Good luck<br /><br />Peter

Know that your looking for that size to keep the car as original, but what about the Mickey Thompson indy profile L60-15 or maybe the N50-15.. Their huge!<br /><br />Their are also some BFG drag radials that are near to that size... 345 /55 R15 is one, again HUGE!<br /><br />Tried Coker tire?<br /><br />What brand of tire was on it originally?

Perrelli is on it now, but they do not have to be original as he isnt to overly concerned about keeping it 100% original. Havnt exhausted my search, but havnt found anything yet. Looking for the performance look though, the Mickey Thompsons are a little to generic!
