Which tires? Need some help!
I'm gunna go with 285/30/20 for the rear and 255/35/20 for the front...I'm just not sure which tires I should go with. Here are my options right now:
BF Goodrich g-Force T/A KDW NT (found for $1,186 or $1,345 w/free replacements), Nito NT555 ($935 w/free replacement), or Toyo Proxes T1R ($812). If any of you have had experience with these please help me out. My mustang (06 gt) is a daily driver, but I also make the occasional trip to the track and drive pretty aggressively (duh! haha). I'm not too worried about the price difference and noise really isnt a huge concern unless its just rediculous. Tread life is a big factor. Thanks guys

The KDW is a summer tire. They are good and have a good wet traction rating. My mechanic recommends the Nitos. They have a very good rating also. I'm thinking about going with the Nittos when I do buy new ones.

+1 I've got 45's on now and I wouldn't go any smaller maybe 40 but definitely not smaller than 40 unless I had 20's. I've got the BF Goodrich g-Force T/A KDW and it has great traction (not too much noise either for a daily driver). I would also think it would be easier to launch with 40+ tire than a 30.

You sure you wanna go with a 30 for your rear tire? I personally wouldn't go below a 35 for the rear, its gonna look like you have no tire on with that small of a profile.

I've got the 20" axis gtr's and I've seen them with the 30s in the back and it looked fine to me...not to thin and not too big. As for launching the surface area is still the same so I don't think it would make too much of a difference except when it came to the psi you were running right?

oops didn't see that you had 20's in the back. Well I would go with the 30'sthen because I'm sure it will look good. And yeah it probably won't make that much of a difference if you have 285's.
