So I am in need of new rubber up front....could use some insight as to what suits best. I don't think it would make sense to put drag radials on the front of the car. I'm replacing the front rims since mine are scarred up from previous owner. Width and brands would be greatly appreciated
I have sumitomo's all the way around they are good all weather tire, though since I dont drive my Mustang much in the winter now I may change them..... anyway I do like them for an all around tire.
The regular 555 are a summer sport tire similiar thread pattern as the drag radials. I am going to get some my self my the front of my 02 gt. I have 555r in the back my self.
I run 275/40-17 Nitto NT555s all the way around on my car. No problems at all. My current set has over 35k miles on them, with somewhere between 5k and 10k left. I run the same size NT555R drag radial at the track on the rears.
Lucky for me my car is not a daily driver and doesn't go out in the rain. But I've noticed a total difference now that temps are dropping....its nothing to break the 315's loose at 60mph
Could you post some pictures? My 02 kenne bell gt is the same color as yours with the same rims. I have 17 x 9s on mine all around though. I am curios to what the 315s with a deep dish bullet rim would look like.
I would go with the Nitto 555s. I love mine! I've got about 30k miles on them so far and there is 4/32nds of tread remaining. Not bad for spirited driving including strip runs.
