copmagnet Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 what tires should i get? I need something with great tread life, great wet traction as it rains ALOT here, and of course, something that will hook pretty well on the street/track. I have continental extreme DWS on my gt, and wanted them for the mach but the biggest they are made in is 295, and it says they will fit any 10-11" wheel, im not sure how safe that is.. alot of what i'm seeing on SVTP is go with a 315-35-18 but alot of those are drag radials and say not to drive in rain. great. does anybody know of any 305(or greater)-35-18 tires that are comparable to the continentals extremes?

64bit_Tuning Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 295 will be fine. People run much thinner than that. I personally would run a 305. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copmagnet Posted May 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 I was thinking no smaller then a 305, but i cant find anything comparable to the continentals. pretty much anything 305 and up is a drag radial. thats the only reason im leaning to risk a 295. I know if i get a flat though that wheel is screwed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schiffy Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 I've got 285/30/18 Nitto's on the back of mine.Sent from my secretary!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solar Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 Not sure if the Nitto INVOS come in 305 but I have them on my 18x10 with 295s. Great everyday traction to include in wet conditions. Car is in FL right now and it rains pretty much daily there so I have nothing but good experience with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schiffy Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 a 10.5 inch wheel is wider then a 285 tire, lol I'll look into those solar.I've got a 10.5" wheel and there is no tire stretch. I've always felt Nitto was slightly wider than some brands.Sent from my secretary!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Det_Riot Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 Nitto runs small. End thread. I squeezed 335s on an 18x10. On a 10.5 a 315 should be perfect. As far as what tires on the rain. I believe falken azenis arents bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know if i get a flat though that wheel is screwed.there's no risk in putting a 295 on a 10.5" wheel. to be honest a 275 or 285 would be fine on a 10.5 as well, Mustang guys tend to always lean towards the larger width of what wheels can take when going smaller works just as well.

LilRoush Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 Yeah, I'd do a 295 on a 10.5" wheel without blinking. Especially if it's a company that naturally runs a bit wide. Cont Extreme Contacts or BFG KDW would be two to consider for dry/wet traction at that size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
