its time for new rubber for me, but i cant figure out what to do.
heres my situation, i saw a picture of a 94-98 stang w/ the same v6 wheels as i have with the firestone firehawk indy 500 raised white letter tires, and it makes the wheels look AWESOME, or as awesome as the v6 wheels can look...so today i go to the firestone dealer and he tells me that they dont make a raised white letter tire in my size, but i could go to a size bigger and wider but it would work. After tax and everything he said it would be just over $400 mounted and balanced. So i go to tires plus and he tells me that if i put a bigger tire on, it will screw up my transmission because the computer is programmed to shift it with the tires i have on there and that it would mess everything up. does anyone know of an affordable raised white letter tire or know what tire place knew what they were talking about?
thanks!!!
