Default Tires

I've been following this forum Ever since I got my mustang last year. And it's about time to replace my tires. I have 16 inch rims and I have 225/55r16 tires. And I want some tires that are a little more low profile. But I don't know which ones to get. Help?

Welcome to the forum

You may want to rethink this a little. Putting low profile tires on 16" rims might not look that good. You might want to increase rim size, say 17" or 18" to offset the smaller tire. It's going to cost more, but looks are everything lol.

Or just camp out on Craigslist for a used set with decent tires already. Plug and play at a fraction of the cost of new.

Definitely agreed! Do not go for low profiles with that. And Welcome to the forums!
