what tire size.....

[Saleen4971]

aright guys. i ahve 275 front and 315 rear sumitomos. i HATE and i mean HATE spending SO much money on tires, and i refuse to get POS sumitomos again. tehy are horrible in any and all weather and im sick of them.

my dads 06 GT has the pzero nero's and they kick ass.

SHOULD I.....

get 275's fornt and rear (i woudl ahve to get another pair of 9" rims in exchange for my 10.5's (ill keep them for DR's)

get 245's for the front (stock, bleh) and 275's out back




the 275's up front track a lot with bumps/curves/whatever in the road which is why i was leaning towards 245's. but 245's are stock and the 275's get AWESOME traction compared to 245. stops and turns better. so i think ill stikc with 275's???


if i get 245's ill need to get some 8" rims for the front, adn put my 9's out back for the 275's.

im leaning towards 275's all around. the pzero nero's are abtou 150 a piece, compared to over 200 for 315's.

if you are willing to spend 150 a tire, why not go for 200 a tire and get bfg kdw2's or goodyear gs-d3s?

 

[Saleen4971]

GSD3's are hard to come by from what i have been told by my tire warehouse.

i dotn want the noise that i hear about form KDW2 owners

hmmmm, now im leaning towards general exclaim UHP's. seems they are rated #1 in the ultra high performance category on tire rack, PLUS they are less expensive than the pirelli's. i dotn need an all season like the pirellis really sine i dont drive in the snow

275's all around looks nice.
Goodyear F1 GS D3's are the best tires I ever put on my
mustang don't pass up on them get them.

why not get Nittos? they're great tires in my experience. i have 245 up front & 285's on the rear....my 285's look a lot bigger than i thought. they look like 305's compared to my bf's 275's.

plus i've had 'em for 20k miles and still have PLENTY of tread & drive great in the rain. I almost never hydroplane now compared to the stock Goodyears...
