Deep Dish wheels do not matter when buying ANY type of tire. Just be sure to put "drag air" in the tires when you get them installed, otherwise the air won't shift properly when launching.

Well are you making your car a total dragster??? Because if your not then you don't want full out DR's. Try the nittos NT555R's. They take time off at the track but they still work on the streets. Thats probally what you want.

^^^^^^^^true and no mustang or rwd car is good on the snow unless you have chains haha. wide wheels+rwd= really slippery in the snow.

Imagine how your car is now, and make it 10 times worse. lol. Your gonna have no traction. In rain it won't be that bad because it still has treads (because they aren't slicks) but forget the snow.

If you want a good tire for dry and wet go with BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW I love mine.

bfg are good but your not going to see anywhere near the amout of life out of it compared to a nitto 555r. bfg 8k miles and nittos 15k miles. depends on the power your putting down

the BFG T/A DR's or the new Mickey Thompson DR"s. the MT's are the best DR out there.
