275/50R15 ET Streets on the XR7? Reply #13 – March 04, 2014, 08:17:11 AM I ran a 295/60/15 Dunlop tire on the back years ago when I drove the bird on the street with a 6.5 bs. It fit good, I did have to remove the quad shocks but I had aftermarket rear control arms on the car. That sure did look mean standing behind the car...... Quote Selected
275/50R15 ET Streets on the XR7? Reply #14 – March 04, 2014, 09:29:02 AM If I can get them shipped, I'm going to find a 275/55-15 with a good speed rating. Not really a stateside tire though. It's the size tire for a DeTomaso Pantera. Pirelli makes them, however I'm not 100% they are still in production. THey would keep my speedometer accurate as it is now without changing anything else.
