RE: (opinion) Tires

Thanks for the input guys went with the g-force kdw's ordered them from the tire rack. My selection was limited cuz I bought 20"s I know I know 20s on a mustang. But I got such a great deal on them I had to do it and the 05's have such a huge wheel well they fill the gap better plus when I throw in the 14" brakes I'll have the space I need. Would have liked to have gotten the goodyears f1 eagles or KDW 2s but they don't make em big enough. Nitto's are supposed to be awesome on the dry pavement but I can't take the risk of not having wet traction. Especially after blowzilla.
I'll post my opinions on them when I get the shoes on.

Hankook builds a real good one that we sell at my place of work. It is the K104 I beleive, and they are priced affordably.

For wet AND dry, IMO, Bridgestone SO3's are as good as anything out there.

Good choice! I found an article a few months ago that compared the top 10 wet/dry performance tires. If I remember correctly, KDW's rated in the top 3. The winner was one made by Cooper tires of all things... I have KDW on my car (235/45 17) Wet is still a little slippery on take off, but once you get off the line they grab really well.
