[QUOTE="mustangc, post: 11214489, member: 87570"] I wonder about the assembly line. I remember hearing Ford had to rework the tire delivery conveyors in AAI to get the '07 Shelby tires to fit. I wonder if manufacturing played more of a role than performance in limiting tire size? Also, bigger tires mean more unsprung weight, a critical objective when trying to make an SRA be compliant in street mode AND predictable in track mode on rough surfaces. I don't know, and I'm not trying to make excuses. Just thinking about all the constraints Ford evaluates that we do not see. Everything's a compromise, and I'd be interested to hear from Ford (maybe through an MM&FF or 5.0&SF article) what ultimately led to the decision. Inquiring minds want to know! [/QUOTE]
