Hey all,


I might decide in a month or two to get some tires. They are down to a 1/32" on a couple, lol. I am using the stock 245/45/17s. I think these went for $200 a pop at tires plus. I was just curious how much wider i can go? right now price matters but i cant see spending more then $300 on a tire is ridiculous for me. I dont need a track tire but i want some to handle / grip better. I am using the rims from AM in my sig if it makes any diff. Ford puts them on for $160 ouchie! I am looking at tirerack for now..


Thanks

 

widest ive seen people run is 275/45 on stock rims

 

cool thanks. I'll talk to them and see if i can do 265s.

wow, i almost spun my car around and lost it. lucky enough no one was in either lanes. i straightened up, some1 was comeing in the other lane, uff. lifted off the clutch too quick in 2nd no less, yikes. i'm still not used to it i guess. first stick car since new. Can u say panic attack?

I need tires!

 

I just got a set of the new Goodyear Allseason F1's from tire rack, way less than $200!!

 

hopefully the compete with that.... they said they do! but idk if the will do tire rack.

Link didnt work but i'll look at the site, thanks.

 

i was looking at those..... i might do them.

 

Your handling will suffer with a 275 tire on a 17x8 rim. Too much sidewall flex. The widest you should go should be a 255.

 

ok made my purchase of f1's and might try to get the $50 discount that gy is giving out.

 

Don't mean to hijack the thread but I am also looking for new tires. I own an 03' Cobra with the original F1 Goodyears. I am looking into replacing them but the original equipment tires for this car are like $300+! Do you guys know of any tires you prefer for a better price and maybe a longer treadlife, I only have 10k on the car and the back tires are cooked!

 

Toyo's.

 

only thing about these tire are they are somewhat noisy. i've paid a 950 total cuz they put in shipping. dont go to ford unless they can give that much of a dicount from tirerack. but i dont know about the cobra price.

 

BF Goodrich KDWs are awesome.
