Tire Input Needed In Time For Christmas!

Hi Everybody. Well....my four brand-spankin' new chrome Saleen-style wheels are just sitting in the living room waiting for me to make a good tire choice.

These are going on my 2001 GT in Mineral Gray. The front Saleens are 18x9"; the rears are 18x10". Up til now, I have been running 18" polished Saleens that came with the car. I had them refinished but the results did not make me happy. So I started saving the the whole package...new wheels and tires. The wheels are ready. Now I need the tires.

I'm pretty well set on sizes: the fronts will be either 265/35x18" or 275's. The rears will be 285 or 295, depending upon the fronts. I will not be drag-racing, so maximum traction is not my goal (can't afford to fix busted transmissions or blown engines). This car gets under 5K miles each year. It goes to lots of local shows. So I'm going for LOOKS mostly, with handling and response a strong second. I want people who stop to look at my car to think "wow, nice wheels and look at those tires will ya!" IN other words, the hot look...enough to help me snag a teeny weeny trophy which I've been trying for since I've had my GT.

BFG is always a good choice. So are Nittos 555's. How about the Falken 452's? And then there are those neat looking Vdrestein Sessentas. All look nice. All are quality tires. I would really appreciate input from members who have had actual experience with those models, or suggestions that you think are worth considering. I'm not interested in Michelins at all. OR Generals. Kumho makes some good tires. And no Coopers, thanks.

Thanks so much for everybody's help. This is the first time I've seriosly gone to you guys for assistance, and I need some help in spending almost $800 without regretting my choice later!

Best,
Dave NICEHOSS

Morning dave! Just dropping in to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving! Kiss that rockin'horse for me!!

Hi Dave!!!

Checking in and by the way, love the profile pic!!

Thanks for stopping by, sorry took a bit to get back, life you know how it is lol. Have a great day and week!

Hey Dave! No 92 Mustang here, just the engine in my Jeep. Owned a mustang a while back, but right now my garage sits empty (
except for all my junk). Your Stang is a beauty! Looking real good!

Hi Dave!

I am sorry it has been so long, you are officially a "friend".... I never write back! LOL

Things are going well here! The ride is great (although waiting for my stripe guy to get back to me, we're having an issue that wasn't cleared up when they were put on)... Today, I am meeting my brother for lunch - we'll bring the Stangs... come to think of it, we should offer the lunch meet up to a few more!

I just love your car... and your plate! It makes me giggle when I read it... VERY creative.

Our GSMC club was invited to the OCMC meet... unfortunately, we weren't able to make it! I saw your pictures and that is one HOT mineral gray 'Stang... I love that color! She looks awesome naturally - but exceptionally great at the show!

Very sorry to hear you didn't take home any metal, the girlie surely deserves some!! Nice to have another friend who is nutty about their Mustang.... truly nutty. You know exactly what I am talking about....

The weekend is here... AMEN! (what a week) We're expecting some very hot weather. I was going to spend the weekend on the 'Stang... but instead, will get up real early to wash her good... and lay a few coats of polish and wax on her so she can last until the weather breaks...

Other than that, not too much going on!

Write soon!!! I'll try to write back faster
