drag radials get the bfg's or the mt's or the m&h that way you can get the feel for them before you do the gears.

Tires You may not need a gear change so see how you can hook up with the gears you have I put gears 4:10s in mine and now have to go back to stock gears because I can't get hooked up and if they are spinin you ain't winin. I have Nitto 305/35/18 DRs on order and will run them on the street. You never said what your plan was. Not at all impressed with BFGs
Have not seen them on the rear of any winners yet.

Ok, go with the gears, it keeps you in the power band most of the time.
I was hot and cold on the gears and now I could not imagine it with out them. Ford should offer 4.10's on the GT

you won't drop your ET with just gears, you need the traction with them to hook up. Get the tires first, then gears. That way if you blow your differential you won't have to do gears twice

Here is a related question. What would a good street tire be for a stock 18" rim with 4.10's be? I am really close to getting gears, but I want to make sure I can get wide enough tires on my wheels to hook.

I received a replacement credit card in the mail yesterday and just had to break it in - no better place than car parts, I say. Anyways, by a vote of 6:3 in favor of tires, I ordered a set of M&H drag radials - 275/50/17. Shipping TODAY! I love this place
