RE: Tire Question?

RE: Tire Question?

255 is about the best you can do. You can fit a 275 on there but the sidewalls will roll over and you wont be putting all 275 on the ground.

I have 'em and love 'em. Excellent in dry/wet conditions. I went with P255/45ZR 18's all the way around.

RE: Tire Question?

I have them and so far so good. I have the P235/50ZR 18's, and would consider the 45 series but with the ford racinghandling package it's already pretty stiff so not sure if I want to go lower profile. One of these days it'll stop raining on a day off and I'll get some pics taken. She is beautiful black and lowered 1.5" with the 18" bullits and just waiting for a nice tune.
