It is time for new radials on my mustang. The MT ET S/S are worn and I am hoping for some 10s as it gets cooler this season. Suspension mods are next but I am going to start with the tire and a viking drag shock (not sure if crusader or warrior series, right now leaning crusaders).
The current wheel/tire combo is AMR 18x10.5s with MT ET S/S 305/40/18s so a 28" tall tire. I am now shifting into 4th at about 120 and trapping 128 or so in the heat, expecting closer to 130s when it cools off. That is leaning me towards a 26" tire. This is a car I drive to work 2-3 times a week on the same tires so that probably rules out most slick style tires but I am open to that approach. My 60's are terrible because I am not launching in boost with stock stall. Tire hasn't really been an issue spinning. Next season I will be adding a stall but want to start with tire/shocks first to see if that helps any.
Options:
1-315/35/18 MT ET S/S - will these even fit?
2- 275/40/18 MT ET S/S
3- switch rim to a 15 or 16? Will a 15 even fit?
