Best Tires for FI stock PP wheels

[Stang27]

Looking for advice for tires on my 2015 GT PP. Front wheels are 255/40 and rear 275/40. Seems the 19 wheel is really limited with options. The goal is to go with the stock look (sleeper look) but the closest is the M/T 305/35 19 . Not sure how it would look ? but closer to stock look the better. No track time just street fun and shows.Worst case buy 20 PP wheel and put the right tire on.

I’m interested too. The pilot sport 4s don’t have a chance in 4th gear or lower.

dump the stock wheels and get something that's 11" wide for the back... you're not gonna want to run 305's on a 9.5" wide wheel

I got nitto 555g in front 285/35/19 and michelin super sport 305/35/19 on rear. It looks clean both up front and rear, the rear sticks out a bit over the wheel but not bad. But yah get wider wheel in back so the 305 can fully grip. I need wider wheels myself

2015 PP GT here as well. The MT's 305's are the best tire out there for traction. I'm around 800 rwhp and they work fantastic. They wont fit well on the stock PP wheels. I wanted the same look you are wanting. I ended up buying PP replica wheels from AM and SOLD my stock ones. Worked out almost even. The AM wheels are 6-7 lbs lighter than the stock ones and look stock. The rears are 10" and the 305's fit great...been running this combo for 3 years now no issues. I went with Nitto 555's up front. If you are determined to run the stock wheels you can get by with 305 NT05r's on the back but no where the traction the MT's provide.

I was debating just getting the rear replica PP1 wheels, but I wish they did them as 11"

8k is impressive. i am looking to get some for my 20s and was figuring on like 4k based on what i have read online. how worn were they at 8k? totally slick? just to the wear bars?

Car looks great and stock...this is what I'm looking for. Stock look without the tire bulge.8 k on tires are pretty good....how's the tire noise on the highway?

 

[moffetts]

Wow, that’s a ton of sidewall bulge. It looks like the MT 305s are even wider than the Nitto 305s.

No that was pretty smooth in the middle.

Yes they are...thats why with the Nittos I ran the 9.5" and the 10's with the MTs.
