RICKS said:I agree with 351CJ, the tires look appropriate on the car. Lower profile tires would look goofy, rollerskate-ish. To look right with lower profile, you've got to increase the wheel diameter to 18". Also, when you go WIDE, you lose steering accuracy and the car gets more darty on uneven road surfaces. That's why most expensive sports cars go with skinny fronts, wide rears, ala Corvette, 911, 360 Modena, etc.etc.etc... Since Mustang is an affordable car, Ford knows that its owners want to be able to rotate tires, so they've got to compromise. I'll bet the Cobra (or whatever they come out with) will have different size tires front to rear. Yes, I know that Ford has put wider tires on the front before, but the steering accuracy and behavior on the SN-95 cars really does suck, so that's not much of an argument, if somebody's contemplating tossing that bomb.

275/40/18 would be 275 width, 40 sidewall, 18 rim height. Is that correct? I think so.. can't remember....
RandyB said:For that particular tire, the section width is 27.5 centimeters and the sidewall is 40% of that dimension.
