Hey guys, I just bought a new set of chrome 16 x 7 ponies for my 92 Coupe. I am trying to decide on tire sizes. I am thinking about going with 245.50/R16 in the back and going with the stock size 225/55/R16 up front. I am looking at the BF Goodrich KDWS. The 245's are 25.7 diameter and the 225's are 25.8 diameter. My assumption is that a 10th of an inch will not be noticible. Anybody else running a similiar set up? Should I just stick 225's all around and be done with it? Thanks ahead of time for any responses.

i wasnt much of a fan of those tires if you want good drip i would go with kwd's but they wont be good in anything other than 100% dry road.

As for the sizes they will be fine and you will not notice the
difference. I personally like bigger back tires than the front
in both sidewall and width but different strokes for different
folks. I am buying some centrelines but 15" that are exact
sizes as you are getting. In the future I hope to get a deep
dish new pair with as wide as possible tires for the rear.
On newer stangs, some use 275's in the front ,but very
low profile tires. Good luck take advice from others maybe
there are better brands, sometimes the namebrand does not justify some products, if you know what i mean.

When I bought my 92 it had 245's all around. Only had 1 rubbing problem...taking a dip at 90 miles an hour. Other than its pretty good.
