Hi all,
I am starting to look at getting some new tires to replace the factory Goodyear tires on my 2003 Mustang GT Vert. Now my little brain thinks that going to a wider tire (275/40/17) that I would get more traction in dry and wet situations (as well as the track) than the original size tires. But I thought I would ask everyone here to see if my way of thinking is correct.
At Discount Tire, I can get either Kumho Ecsta Supra 712 (275/40/17) for $135/tire or Nitto NT 555 Extreme Performance (245/45/17) for $129/tire. I would like something that will perform good at in dry and wet conditions. $135/tire is about as much as I can spend for tires right now and I only go to the track like once a month.
Thanks,
Rich
