Hey, i plan on getting some new tires for my stang, i wanna go 285/40/18 rears and 255/45/18 on the front, i was just wondering what tires you guys run and what you recommend. I like the look of the BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW 2's and i know they perform well, but i was wondering what else looks good and performs well for summer performance tires?
Also do you guys think the big rears and smaller fronts look good

I'm using the Nitto NT555s, pretty damn sticky for street tires. Hundred times better than the stock BFGoodrichs. It's pretty tough to spin the tires when taking a hard turn. :)

+1 ON THAT! Dunlops are my fav for price/money. But if money was no object I would definitly get P-Zero's (not nero's).

I just got my new 07 and it has p-zero nero's. When I read your post I didn't realize thats what I have. Maybe we should let everyone know they are Pirellis. I don't have many miles yet so I can't say how good they are but they handle great.

Here is a comparison between stock 235/55/17 Pirelli and the BFG KDW-2. Front 255/35/20 & Rear 285/30/20
