Because of the rear axle on the Mustang the outside edge of the tire tends to wear a bit more especially if you drive like we do. The fronts wear evenly. If you rotate them it should be good for 12-15,000 miles. Otherwise you're going to get maybe 8k out of the rears.



If you do some searching 18"s look fine on the car as long as you're lowered with a beefy sidewall. Obviously function over form in that case.

If you want to do suspension stuff to the car you want to talk to Sam Strano... he's a multiple time SCCA national champ and is destroying AutoX with his 5.0. He runs 315s on 18x10 (or 18x10.5... can't remember) all around.

Me... I'm just going to replace the Pirellis with 275 Michelin Pilot Super Sports all around... unless I get a new set of wheels.

Yeah, I read through Sam's thread. Lots of info in there. Trying to figure out if I'm going to be be autoXing enough/good enough at it to make it worth going with 18s.
