Tires

[AdrenalineRush]

What do you think about the choice Ford made for the dimensions of the tires?
Those Pirrelli ZeroNero are very good but the sizing is'nt very good I think...The stock 235/55/ZR17 got a to high sidewall I think and it makes the car swing easely. I would have puted something around 240-245 wide with something like 35-40 of sidewall high. On 4 monster 19" mags. The ride would be much more shaking in rough conditions but the car would handle a bit better I think. Not that it doe'nt handle well, It goes very well but you cannot make a last minute correction in a curve, the configuration of the tires give less margin to work with.
Do you like them?

First off, you would have to really be driving 10/10 to not be able to make a correction with your car on the stock tires. Trust me, I know.

Besides, Not too many people would be happy with the ride quality of a 3.38" sidewall (245/45-19) as compared to a 5.08" sidewall (235/55-17). It would also give you almost 1.5" less in overall diameter (25.75 compared with 27.18).
