The back tires on my 96 GT I just bought are almost bald, while my front tires are in good shape (Not too surprising considering this is a Mustang ). Should I replace all four tires, or would I be able to get away with just buying the back two? It has generic tires on the stock 17 inch premium wheels offered in 96 (The 5 spoke with split spokes). From what I've read this is a 8 inch deep rim. Due to this, I wont be buying the same type of wheels, would I get away with buying a tire with the same dimensions but not same brand?

Atm it has 245/45ZR17's on it, should I keep the 245 or could I push it to 255/45ZR17 in the rear and leave the 245's I have up front? Any suggestions on brand? Im going to be going all seasonal tires, due to being in NJ and ill prob end up in snow once or twice with it (Poor stang [] ) Doing a bit of research, I like the way Falken ZE-512 ZIEX's look, what do you all think?

yeah you could do any of those sizes up to 275 in the back and leave whatever tires you have on in the front I run a 265 toyo proxy t1-r front and 285 nitto 555r rear. an all season performance tire if your going to drive year round with them falkens are nice i had them on my stang before I switched to diff profile. bfg and toyo makes some good ones to wet and dry tire

Thanks sitn, I think im gonna go with the Falken 255's in the back, and keep my generic 245's I have up front. Wider is better!
