You'll probably only be interested in H or Z rated tires...or maybe W.

yeah, but at least with Z-rated tires, you KNOW you'll be alright for street use, unless your car is just SICK...like jdan's kb. i'll only have Z-rated on a modded car to go fast. nothing less

215's? did you spell that right. That's way to narrow for your stang. you want atleast 235's. Hear, go to this and you can find out how wide a tire you can put on without going to big in diameter.
