tires :)

[Fishers Stang]

ok I dont drive the stang more then maybe 3 times a month. i need some new tires on the front. (I run 245/45/17 on stock 99+ Gt style rims) The rears i have Firestone.

I dont want to spend Tons of money on new tires for the fact I dont drive it. When I do drive it, its not rain or snow so they wont be all season tires. Should I stick with name brand (goodyear, firestone...) or some out of USA brand?

[rocknbronco]

The majority of brands are now out of the USA due to polution and the EPA think Japan.

[SpectorV]

go with yokahoma avs es100s they look much better than those.

[rocknbronco]

I say what I always say BFG's

[bluemustang]

bfgs are def a good tire

[SpectorV]

but in reality you dont need a super expensive tire, you wont have traction issues with a lesser priced performance tire that will last you longer and look just as good~

[MonteCitan]

the BFGs I had on the regal suck, the BFG drag radials on the rustang are good

I like the dunlops I have now..

i think the fact the regal is FWD is just why. any tire is gonna suck when you try to pull a car down the track while all the weight squats rearward. plus youre comparing a normal bfg tire on fwd to drag radials on rwd.

but for a v6 like fishers its doubtful he needs such an exotic tire to promote traction, so a more decent tire (not no sears specials) with longer treadlife is what i would go for as well.

yeah the rear firestones (in photo) will stay. The fronts, i plan on takin the mustang to the track once -2 times this year (not drag but : putnam park home page ) I just want to see if some tires like spec said would work just fine.

Go with the Yokos. They are the best tire for the price in my opinion.

[SpectorV]

^^ The Yokos will look much better than those firestones

[JROC]

I say either BFG's or Nitto's.

[bbunt302]

BFGs = Overpriced.

Nittos = Overpriced and overrated.

And I can say that because I've had/have both street tires and drag radials from each of them.

[lowflyn]

My BFG's were nicely priced. Actually cheaper than alot of the tires in my size. Definitely a good tire for the price.

[JROC]

I'm not trying to say which tire I think is the best, I'm just saying what I would buy. I wouldn't buy Yokohoma's unless I owned a Evo or something because they don't look right sitting on a Mustang IMO. I had BFG G-Force KD tires on my Roush and I thought they were very good, but they where pretty expensive. Toyo's are also good tires but I wouldn't put them on my Mustang either, the name sounds to ricey or something.

[lowflyn]

I ran toyo tpt's on mine, and those things sucked. I could spin them from day 1 with a V6.

[n8r]

I like BFGs, I have only had experience with thier offroad tires. So yeah

[bbunt302]

All these prices are for 275/40/17s from Discount Tire, Custom Wheels, Truck & Car Rims | Discount Tire Co.

Yokohama AVS ES100 = $125
BFG KDW = $171
Nitto NT 555 Extreme = $149

So the BFGs are $184 more for a set of four while the Nittos are $96 more.

And the Yokos are a great looking tire in my opinion, regardless of what kind of car you have... http://www.discounttiredirect.com/pr.../yokhzm.xl.jpg

[lowflyn]

Who says you need the KDW's? I have the G-force sports and they're a damn good tire with good tread life added in there.
