RE: Snow tires - FML - Biker Dude - 11-24-2014
Yes, I didn't remember the year, so I guessed. And I did not know the brakes. Lower profile tire, for larger rim to clear the rotors would be my guess. Looks like 900ish is the cheapest you get out. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Pirelli&tireModel=Winter+Carving+Edge&partnum=54TR9WCEXL&vehicleSearch=true&fromCompare1=yes&autoMake=Ford&autoYear=2014&autoModel=Mustang%20GT%20Coupe&autoModClar=Brembo%20Brakes
But you gotta pay to play. All that goes along with owning a car like that.

Man, what happened to the days where a G78-15 would fit most anything? Does anything eve come with a 13 or 14 inch wheel anymore?

to answer your question twist, yes
RE: Snow tires - FML - twisteroo - 11-24-2014
I just searched around with that 255-grz1940 tire size Twitch is looking for....all searches came up with you are fucked.
I don't even think you are supposed to run those ghetto wheels in the snow, are you?
I mean face it, when you are driving in 10 inches of snow no one can tell if you are big pimpin or just driving.
RE: Snow tires - FML - TenFour - 11-24-2014
protip, buy smaller rims.
RE: Snow tires - FML - Biker Dude - 11-24-2014
With the Brembo brake option, you probably can't run any smaller rims.
RE: Snow tires - FML - Twitchin Kitten - 11-24-2014
Don't you have to fiddle with the computer if you go with smaller rims too?
RE: Snow tires - FML - Biker Dude - 11-24-2014
Depends on what you want. If you get smaller rims so you can mount a tire with a larger aspect ratio, and end up at the same diameter, nothing changes. If your diameter does change then the only thing you have to worry about is that the speedometer is now off. That is an easy fix if you own a real tuner, but one of THOSE is probably $400. If it is for limited driving during the winter, probably easier to just leave it alone. But if you did have a tuner, you get someone to write a tune or two for the car to really make it rock...

The two things larger aspect ratio tires do over stock is mess with navigation system and it can change your true speed. The difference is so slight that it wouldn't be noticeable unless your doing well over 100 mph. I believe both can be reprogrammed at dealer, I know a tuner usually can be modded to take the change into account but then you need to keep it attached all the time. I was going to suggest tirerack after reading your original post but see someone knew about the place. Discount tire direct usually has some very good pricing. If you pick tires and rims they mount and balance and ship free, I bought rims and tires from them when I had my old truck.
