New Tire Suggestions??

[stang03]

Okay, so I am gonna be due some new tires here pretty soon. I just bought my mustang and as of right now here are the tires I have:

Rear - 285/40/18 - Nitto NT555 Extreme
Front - 245/45/18 - General Tire

I want to stay same size in the rear; what do you all think a good size for the front would be??

Any suggestions on what tire to go with? I want a good all season tire, with decent tread life.

Thanks guys

255/45/18 for the front IMO 27 " tall as are the rears

I am debating this same thing right now, I just got some 18s so Im thinking I may just run 255s all around or 235s (already have them) for the front and 275/40 on the back. I would like to kept 27" tall tires on. the 275/35 are to small with my 4.10 gears.

i just can not pick what I want to do.

Go 255/45/18 on the front and 285/40/18 in the rear. Yes, the front will be taller but not enough to notice.

i still havent picked. These are my options:

1. 255/45/18 all around and have a nice balenced look to the car. and spend $600

2. I have BF goodrich tires (235/50/18s I got with the wheels) and 2 off them are in good shape, so i would buy some BFs 275/40/18 for the rears. so I would I have the drag look more. and spend about $400 on this.

im still just thinging about it.

BAH! Dont do the stocker KDWS. IMO there garbage. For the fronts there ok but the rears are just gonna spin all over the place. Go max performance summer tires on the rears and stockers on the front.

any suggestions? Im thinking of getting the 255/45r18 Riken Raptors. I know lot of people have never heard of them but they sell them at the BX on base. I also have a very good friend with a 700+ rwhp twin turbo cobra daily driver that has the raptors on them and he has had them for 2 years with out a problem and good slow wear on them.
