Hello from Fairport

[redlawyers]

Hey, that isn't a bad deal! Unfortunately, you won't find a lot of deals on TireRack.com for tires. They got Hankooks and Sumitomos for $190 and a little less a piece. I would definitely buy the summer tires during the winter. Are you going to do a staggered tire setup or keep it stock?

Stock size for those is : 255 40 19
The staggered sizes should be: 255 40 19 Front and 285 35 19 Rear

Good luck, and perhaps we will see you on Sunday at Quaker Steak and Lube in Gates at 1PM.

I'm not planning on going staggered. This is my daily driver so I'd like to be able to rotate my tires. Plus the wider I go the worse fuel economy I'll get. Are you sure that's the stock size tire though? I've read on quite a few sites that it's 245/45R19 and even AM recommended that size as well for the 19". I did notice that once you go wider than 8.5" in the rear you want the 40mm diameter tire but it seems that 45mm is recommended for anything narrower.

Oh, if its your daily driver, I would have gone with the 18s because of these crappy Rochester roads! LOL

Anyways, are those 19s 8.5" or 9" wide? Going with the 245 might be too skinny a tire for those rims and could potentially expose the rim to curb rash since the tire won't be wide enough to protect it. Let me know how it goes. TireRack said 255 all around.

Oversized tires are my specialty at the moment because the previous owner of my GT put 255 50 17s on these Cobra 17x9 rims and they rub like crazy. The inner wheel wells are all rashed up.

Yeah I sorta am wishing I had gotten 18's just due to the cheaper tires but I think the 19's will look much better. I had pretty low profile tires on my Civic Si previously as well and didn't have any problems. I only drive 5 miles to and from work most days and about 50 miles on 490 to Greece each weekend so I don't really encounter too many bad roads on a regular basis. The 19's I picked up are 8.5" wide.

Gotcha! Anyways, personally I would go with the 255s all around to make sure you have a little bit of tire sticking out to protect those nice rims of yours. But ultimately it is your decision. Just my $0.02 opinion.

Let's see some more pics of your Mustang! Talk to you soon.
