If you do run that skinny of a tire on your mustang I hope that you are not also driveing it on the street with it. Remember that 80% of your brakeing comes from your front tires!!!!

well i took it to the track. i dont know if weather had anything to do with it, but i ran a 12.97 all motor and a 11.984 on the 100 shot. before my all motor was 13.13 so i dunno if it was the skinnies or the air.

skinnys cause less drag on the ground so you can accelerate faster. nice times.
