Car Forum / Ford / Ford Mustang / April 2005Tires size for 18 inch rims!
Planning to get cobra R 18 inch rims. Just wondering what's the best tires size to fit the car. i'm thinking about 275/35 front and 285/13 back. any suggestions would be appreciated. thanks Those sizes will maintain the stock overall tire diameter. I assume that the rear will be 285/35 NOT 285/13.

You cannot rotate if they are different. I have Kuhmo Ecsta Supra (Nittos are much better grippers BTW but the Kuhmos last longer) 245/40/ZR18s on the front and 275/35/ZR18s in the back. I'll never do it again. Not being able to rotate the tires has been anl expensive venture. Kate 98 Cobra Drop Top | Planning to get cobra R 18 inch rims.

Rotate???? YUCK!!! I had staggered sizes on my fiero and LOVED IT =) Hell even on the Kia, which I almost never ever drive anymore, I don't ever rotate the tires. Balance, sure. Rotate? No. Reason? Rotating the tires does only 1 thing for you. Distribute wear across all 4 tires. So really its your choice.... Do you want to buy 4 tires at a time....or 2 tires at a time? That really is what it comes down to. There is no other "benefit" to rotating the tires. -- Stephan 2001 Yamaha YZF-R6 Hey, whatever floats your boat. I prefer 4 at a time and to know that I have the same grip in the front as I have in the back.

Doing wonderful! Little tired, was up working until 6am yesterday. Other than that, doing great! How about you? -- Stephan 2001 Yamaha YZF-R6 I'm staying out of trouble. I am so glad that it's spring time. Finally get to clean the dust off the little white beast and take her out with the top down. Not that I let her rest all winter, but it's much nicer when you don't have to wear a coat and the roads are dry. Why are you working the night shift? Who did you torment to deserve that?

Who did you torment to deserve that? Well i'm not exactly working the night shift, however I'm really busy working on our new tuning software. So I tend to stay up late at times =) -- Stephan 2001 Yamaha YZF-R6 "Stephan Rose" <ker-spam-mos@kermos-no-spam-reversed.net> wrote are you working the night shift?

So I tend to stay up late at times | =) Funny how computer-atin can do that to an otherwise perfectly normal human being. When hubs used to work night I would do it now and then, now that he's underfoot all day and night, it's impossible. I liked to stay up late and just play. Sometimes with new software, other times with graphics and now and again with a game. Back in the EARLY days when IRC was new and hot I would spend hours on end yakking with friends I made around the world. That was pretty cool.
