Well I guess I will go with the 245/50/16s for the back of the stang. I was looking at the Nitto 555 DRs but not sure what I want to get. I want something that will last DUHHHHH but REALLLY WANT TRACTION ON THE STREET MORE. I was reading some reviews on that tire and some say they last but dont grip and others say the opposite. I am not using them for the drag strip cause I have MT ET drags for that. They dont spin AT ALL NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU LAUNCH. But as the pics I posted before I am having traction issues right now and it makes 1 and 2 gear useless. Any suggestions if I should go with this tire or something else?

Suspension mods? BFG DR's hands down. Used MT Radials, BFG's and seen those junky nittos in action.

BFG don't make the comp TA's anymore. they where a good tire. The G force replaced them.

Mustangfan You need some Upper and lower control arms. That would be the biggest help to you.

I just bought a set of outlaw 10 upper and lowers. That look just like the hotchkis control arms. They where around 160 out the door down here at holcomb. But i like the upr one.
