I recently picked up a set of really nice pony wheels to put on my 88 GT. I think I'm gonna stick with 225/55/16 so they won't rub too badly. What tires do you guys run? I hope to spend under $100 per tire. Also, what makes Kumho tires so inexpensive? Are they any good?
a 225/55 front and a 245/50 rear would be a good combo, but of course a 225/55 on all 4 is the safest route. there are many, many good tires in this size, the kumho's seem to be really good tires, i had them on my cobra, but not long enough to see how long they last. price around and see what you can find
Anyone ever heard of akuret GTX? They were on the car when I bought it. They seem like really cheap tires. I'm getting BF goodrich KDWS tires when it comes time.
running 250/55's on mine with ponys. nice and wide track! had to trim the front fender extension just a little with a dremel tool but other than that its all good.
ummmmm the kumhos are cheap cause there a really hard compound an are suppose to last longer... but that being said ive only gotten 3000 miles to a set of ecsta 712's... they dont hook up at alllllll...

Hmm I have the cheaper 711's and I got all 4 to me for $240 or so. Not to bad, mine arent that bad, but I dont have a fast car. Maybe with more power they wouldnt be that good, but for a mostly stock car (like mine) id say youll be alright. Good Luck.
I have some nitto 555R's on the back(245-50-16) and kuhmo ecsta's on front(225) and I like both, the nittos get really good grip on street and since I don't do corners that much I can't really say anything about the ectas but they look cool.
