sketto101 · April 21st, 2008, 11:20 PM

wat size tires should i get for these????

98stangv6 · April 21st, 2008, 11:21 PM

275/35-18

sketto101 · April 21st, 2008, 11:37 PM

for all four? cuz i want like 9" wide tires in the front an 10s in the back but i dont have to change the rims for that right?

AndrewA. · April 22nd, 2008, 12:13 AM

275. All the way around looks good and thats what the cobra get.

98stangv6 · April 22nd, 2008, 12:16 AM

i think its 315 for 10.5 but those big tires will slow your car down.

MWWarlord · April 22nd, 2008, 12:23 AM

Go with 265/35ZR18 in front and go with 285/35ZR18 in the back. That's what I have and they fit perfect. Check out the pics in my garage.

when people say bigger tires slow their car down how much are we talking... because on mine i actually GAINED speed/accell...

98stangv6 · April 22nd, 2008, 12:44 AM

how did you gain speed and acceleration by adding tires on your car? and im talking about the deep dish wheels.

Trance · April 22nd, 2008, 12:46 AM

i dont know honestly but i ran .2 faster... lol!

with 18/11.5 saleens all round.

98stangv6 · April 22nd, 2008, 12:57 AM

the only thing i can think of is that they are lighter than your old tires. those dont look like 11.5 lol

Dansby · April 22nd, 2008, 01:18 AM

think about it, your axle spins a 15 inch wheel, the total length of travel is pi x 15 (aka the circumference), Now your axle spins an 18 in wheel, the total length of travel is pi x 18. If you have a decent hp car, the added pounds wont matter much, but that long difference in circumference makes a big difference. i love being an engineering major

245/40/18s up front, 275/35/18s in the back. You dont want that wide of a tire in the front...trust me. Every little bump/groove in the road those tires are gonna catch and pull towards.
