Tires

whtpny · August 28th, 2007, 11:45 PM

Alright. I'm not sure where this should go so I posted in the area for my mustang year

lol. I need to get some new tires. I was thinking about getting the back ones of a different size to give a little more meat on the rear.. but i dont know the best way to figure out what sizes to go with i have stocker wheels right now (17" bullitts) and the oem tire size is 245/45/17.. ne suggestions?

275/45/17 in rear Nitto 555s!

whtpny · August 28th, 2007, 11:54 PM

i also want to find some tires that are good in both wet and dry conditions... will nitto 555s work well for that?

Nope. What size are the wheels?

My 2 cents is the hankook ventus sport k104. In the 7 year I have had my car I have used Kuhmos which sucked and hankook which I have had two sets and lasted me 5 years total. Besides their fairly cheap too.

so u guys are suggesting some bf goodrich gforce t/a kdw?

raceruler03 · August 29th, 2007, 07:18 AM

yeah they are. They stick like hell, but if you spin them much they burn off faster than other tires. Worth the money though.

I run 255-40-17 Dunlop Direzia DZ101.

I put them on last week and I love them. They handle most all of the power and seem to be very good in the wet roads as well as the dry.

Here are some in that size.

I have no idea why the links aren't working. I've edited this thing like 4 times.

a 275/40/17 will be pretty close to same height as stock tire. 275/45 will be a little taller.
