hey guys, I'm about to pick up some new tires for my 95 svt and I'm stuck between the nitto 555's and kumho ecsta's Any idea on what would be better for a daily driver? I've heard the nittos grip great but wear out fast and with the kumhos I've heard they grip ok and last longer than the nittos so it seems like the kumhos would be the better idea?

I've got a couple questions I'm not exactly sure where to put so if this is the wrong section sorry.
has anyone found a way of getting their parking brake release button to stop vibrating or will I have to order a new parking brake handle all together?
Also I have problems with my rear brakes chirping and I've tried almost everything with no luck. It seems like every 94-98 mustang I see has the same chirping problem with the rear brakes chirping when your not on the brakes and no one knows how to fix it. Is this really that common? and has anyone found a cure? I've replaced both rear calipers, and put in hawk pads. until today I didn't put anything on the anti rattle pad on the back of the pads but finally thought about that and did it. I haven't driven it since then and hopefully this will fix it but I doubt it. unless theres something that is supposed to hold the pads apart from the factory that everyone removes the only thing I can think of is my rotors are warped?

thanks in advance.

NO street tire hooks... so don't even try it

mickey thompson drag radials or just don't bother

ok well what would be a good all around all season tire? If I go to the track I'll try to get slicks but Its not worth it to run drag radials on the crappy roads in my area.

if the rotors are not contacting the backing plate in any way shape or form, try a set of ceramic pads

my rear brakes dont chirp

pk222

the rotors are not touching the backing plate. Should I just try any ceramic pads or is there a certain brand I should go with? I have hawk ferro carbon pads. Should I try having the rotors turned first? Their slotted and drilled, I don't know if that could have anything to do with it

haha then whats your secret adder? just about every mustang in my area is an sn95 and all of them have the same chirp I do.

Also about the parking brake release button, has anyone had similar problems with it vibrating? I know it probably has a lot to do with the fact that I have dumps but I don't want to do anything with the exhaust until I can afford to do the whole thing at once. If there is anyway I can tighten it or if I would have to buy a new parking brake handle?

i have the kumho ecstas on my 93 gt and my 95 cadi sls and i love them they are great performance street tires

pk222

just went for my first ride with the kumhos and it surprised me how good they gripped. The only thing I don't like is there is way more sidewall flex. at first I thought there was something wrong with the rear end

anyone know about the parking brake handle and the ceramic pads?
