I have Falken Ziex tires on mine and I know Nitto makes that size also. Got mine from Vulcan Tire. Discount Tire has both brands. The Falkens are a sport truck tire but are working out fine on my car. I bought them over the Nittos because alot of people complain of road noise with the Nittos. They also have somewhat of the same type of thread pattern as the Pirellis which I'm running up front only alittle more aggressive looking.

I'm running 275/50/17 Nitto 455's on 17x9 Ford 95 Cobra R wheels. About 12,000 miles on them no issues at all.A little noisey but 2005 Mustang doesn't have much sound deading in it.They balanced with no problems track straight and the price wasn't bad around $600,00 out the door Chrome stems balancing and tax.I like them!!!!

I was looking at the nitto 450 and I think I will go with the nitto 255/50/17/ front and the 275/50/17/ rear ...should work out about perfect
