Hey guys. Here's what I'm looking at. I have a set of 17x9 ROH Snypers I'm going to have refurbed so I can run them on the stang. Right now, I have stock 17x8 5 star ponies on there with 245.45.17 Kumhos that are pretty good in shape. The 17x9 ROHs had 245/45s on them when I ran them on my last car. Anyway, what I want to know, is what is the optimal rear tire size for traction and handling? I want the widest rear tire that won't sacrifice handling by being all bulged out. I'd like to swap two of my Kumhos over from the stock rims onto the fronts, and keep the second pair set for spares or when the first set wears out, and get new matching but wider tires for the back. A narrower front tire isn't a bad thing anyway, and my car is lowered. Anyway, if anyone can give me the best, widest, strongest handling tire size, I'd appreciate it!
