Default important tire question

im looking for some new tires for my bullitt and im not too sure if i should be getting tires for a GT or for a Bullitt.

some sites i look at have the options of V6 coupe, V6 convertible, cobra, GT etc....
and others have all those options plusGT Bullitt
Because my car comes with the cobra suspension setup, should i still be buying tires for a GT ?

what do you guys think ? O, and what about you Mach 1 guys, where do you fall under, because i think Bullitt's and Mach 1's have the same setup.

Your bullitt is a GT but with a big heavy intake, slightly different suspension, and cool painted brake calipers. Buy tires acording to the wheels you have.

You are asking if GT and bullitt tires are different and you say I know nothing. LOL I build these cars for fun and know most everything about them. You have 17x8 wheels just like all of the other GT's. You can 245 45 R17 all the way up to 275 40 R17. Unless you have after market wheels then you really shouldn't be asking this question.

All picking aside, if you have the stock wheels and want the same tire, they are 245-45-17, same as a GT. You can tell by my ID what car I have. I recently got a good deal on Nitto 555 Extreme's and so far they are equal to or a little better then the Goodyears that came on the car, ( wet or dry ) but with a slightly better treadwear rating. One reason I went with these are that they don't have a large rim saver built in which is a look I don't care for, but thats just me. I like the more flush look, plus they are rated pretty good by other guys I know that have them so good luck.

You don't have a cobra's suspension by the way.
