Default Tires

Hi everyone. Im looking for recommendations on tire size. I have a 2012 mustang gt, supercharged with 620 to the wheels. Its my everyday driver and it will not hook up for nothing as im running with the stock tires. Give me all your opinions. not wanting anything to bulky. Its been lowerd and has brembo front brakes. Talk to me! All opinons greatly appreciated! Thank you!

I would say 19" to keep a little extra sidewall, but that's me.

Yep, size of rim is important, you can't fit a wide tire on a 8" rim, I have a Cyclone and run 18x9" 275/40/18's. That's my rims limit.

Check out some drag radials. They hook better but will not be as effective at cold temperatures compared to allseason tires. Do you see temps below 40 regularly this time of year?

I have had nitto 555R's and liked them because they gripped well and performed almost like a street tire in the rain..until the middle tread wore out. But my car had less than half the power of your car.

Id check out some stickier tires.
