What type of tires for stock wheels? 15''

24KStang · February 12th, 2010, 12:39 AM

I need new tires which brand is best performance, dont care about noise/tread life thanks...

mcqueen · February 12th, 2010, 01:09 AM

Nittos and Perellis are both pretty high quality performance tires. Don't plan on getting them too cheap though.

24KStang · February 12th, 2010, 01:10 AM

Whats a cheaper alternative?

mcqueen · February 12th, 2010, 01:18 AM

Sumitomos are what I went with for my 18" 2010 GT Premiums. Haven't been able to put them on the car due to the snow but I know they won't be as good as Nittos, but they didn't break the bank either. What size exactly are you looking for? (Sorry I've never had stock rims, I bought my car with 17" GT Bullitts)

mcqueen · February 12th, 2010, 01:36 AM

I did a little research and found the 15" rims to have 205/65/15 tires (stock). Not sure if you're ok with changing the sidewall but Yokohama is a decent brand. Yokohama S.drive The sidewall would go from your current 133.25mm to 112.75mm (which would be somewhere near 3/4" shorter sidewall).

i had BFgoodrich Radial T/A when i had my 15's.

i had 215/65/R15 up front
and 235/60/R15 in the back.

i liked them, and they had a nice muscle car look to them

I use Goodyears Eagle Response edge.
I bought them last year, not sure if they have the same tread pattern now.
I use 205/65/15. They are a nice tire with 50,000 mile tread warranty.

Those B F Goodriches do look good/muscular. Only a T speed rating if that matters to anyone.

Ponygirl95 · February 13th, 2010, 09:08 PM

I had Goodyear Eagle GT's on my last Mustang with stock 15" rims. They were pretty good. Now I have BF Goodrich G-Force T/A's, 245/45/R17 and I really like them except in heavy rain. Not sure if they make them for 15 " rims though.

Matt. · February 13th, 2010, 09:16 PM

I thought we had 16" stock.

lcorriveau3 · February 13th, 2010, 09:25 PM

99 & 00 had 15" stock 01 up 16" stock

HMUSN · February 13th, 2010, 09:35 PM

Depends on the trim. I used to have an 01 with 15's stock.

Matt. · February 13th, 2010, 09:36 PM

oo, learned something new, thanks guys

Ponygirl95 · February 13th, 2010, 09:38 PM

I think Matt Stang is correct about the 2000 Mustangs having 16" stock rims. My last Mustang was a 1989:< with 15". My current wheels are not stock but the BFG's perform well.

mp4 player · February 13th, 2010, 10:55 PM

16" was an option on them I believe. I have a 2000 and they are 15s.

Can't help you out on what tires to get though.. Mine came with the car and are terrible.

24KStang · February 15th, 2010, 01:35 PM

My 2k have 15s...
