mat82284 · Jul 16, 2004

i need 4 new tires and am looking for cheap tires around 100 a piece and am looking to get the best ones for the mustang i need 245 50 16 what brand should i go with? also if you know a good place to go let me know thanks.

NITTO!! best tires, maybe not 100 bucks probaly like 150-160 if u have a local tire store but thats defintaly the best way to go a good combo is the 555 for the front and 555r dr in the back for good traction in the back, i have just the 555 all around, great tires tho, worth the extra money

i like potenzas, they are good.

i have nittos there great

BFGoodrich Radial T/As are pretty good street tires. They go for about $90-$100 each.

Nitto NT555Rs are some sweet tires though.

NITTO NT555... best tire... you won't regret it

I am lookin' around also, and some of the ones I like are
-BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDWS
-Pirelli PZero Nero M&S
-Continental ContiExtremeContact
-Dunlop SP Sport 5000 Asymmetrical

There are more, but I can't think of em at the moment.

I got the BFG's listed above at Costco and they were about $110 a piece. I think they are great! Waaaaay better (traction) than the Goodyear Eagle's I had before..

So much more traction that I feel comfortable enough to actually going to get rid of my 3.08's for 3.55's next week!

also whats the biggest tires i can get for pony rims on a 92 hatchback lx?

old_blue · Jul 17, 2004

tirerack.com- that is where i got my bf comp t/a's (no longer made) and it was cheaper for me to have them shiped to my house and installed at a shop than to buy them at a shop and then installed.that is how much cheaper they were than the local tire shop around here. Most places here are crooks anyways!

kuhmo is also a good tire, they look bad ass, not sure about performance but they look very nice

blk92stangg · Jul 17, 2004

Kumhos are probably the cheapest you can get. Cheap and best usually are mutually exclusive. I think you need to figure out what kind of driving you are going to do before you can really figure what you would be able to give up in the name of frugality. 2 of my friends out here got Kumho Ecsta's (sp?) and at the price they got them for, they aren't doing ANY complaining lol.

KevinsGtp · Jul 17, 2004

hum

i allways consitored nitto tires for ricers but dont know all to much about them so there pretty much the best street tires out there price no question and what ones?

blk92stangg · Jul 17, 2004

Depend if you want lateral traction or straight line traction. Straight line, I have heard any of the DOT drag radials by reputable (read non Korean/Chinese brands) companies are good. For lateral road racings, any Z-rated, low milage, soft compound tire from reputable companies, will do ya good.

custom89stang · Jul 17, 2004

doe sthat mean the kumho's are good or bad?

UMDSmith · Jul 17, 2004

I have brand new nitto 555r 245/50/16's on the rear (140 a peice)
and brand new kuhmo err forgot model type 225/45/16's on the front (75 a peice)

The front ones have nice deep wet weather grooves so that WHEN I fishtail it in the rain, I can easily let of the gas and correct in any direction, and the combo works very nicely.

Js5ohLX · Jul 17, 2004

I know a few people running Kumho's and they're really good. I gotta friend with a firebird that switched between bfg drag radial, potenza re950's (expensive) and then Kumho's, and he ran his best times with the kumho's. Same size as your looking at. That will be what I get.

CobraGT87 · Jul 17, 2004

Running 255/40/17 Kumho's on all 4's. No complaints at all. They grab very well in wet weather and pretty darn good on dry pavement. Can't beat the price either.

Ranchero5.0 · Jul 17, 2004

I put a set of 255/50R16 Fulda's on the back of the '93 and they hook like ET streets. wholesale price was only $66 each and I got them out the door on the car for $100 each.
