What brand/make of tires for the two options for the 17" wheels?
The bright, extra cost wheels look less performance wise than the other.
The Contour SVT came stock with 215/50-16 BFGoodrich g-Force T/A.
They were nice, sticky, 25k miles worth of treadlife.
What will the '05 Mustang GT with Bullit wheels come wrapped in?

Funny, people in the tire world often said that Ford and Pirelli didn't mix well. Something about being designed for European automobiles....not liking Ford's setup..... Can't remember.

Guess this changes that.

I'm still wondering if we wouldn't have been better off with the same tires (in the GT size) as the base car: BFG Traction T/A's.

I JUST (yesterday) put a set on my probe. The tread looks great for all season and appears like it will have a lot of bite. No highway noise and handling is great! Plus, compound lasts longer than most.
