I just purchased some 01 Cobra wheels for my 96 GT. Which tires, size, rating, should I get? It's a daily driver, have never gone to the track and needs to be a good all-around tire? What should I stay away from? What is a good tire?
KJ Hoppus said:245 45 17 is the stock size, you could go 255 if you want , that is if you just got 17-8 rims, as for tires i recomend the Goodyear Eagle GS-D3
ps. remember with tires you get what you pay for

I ended up picking up a Defender ZR4 or something like that. That was the only tire they had in stock that was Z-rated and all-season. They didn't have the KDWSs in stock, which is what i had on before. I got 245/45/17s.DC-GT said:I went withthe BFG KD's. They are built and rated for dry weather so they have very good traction for acceleration on dry surfaces. They are not rated for wet or snow but they have startling traction in those conditions as well. I live in Northern Virginia so we don't see crazy snow like someplaces but for my needs, they work great.
**edit** They are directional tires so you would have to order 2 lefts and 2 rights. For more of a "rotatable" tire that is rated all weather, look at the KDWS's. They are cheaper too! Around $115 each at tire rack.
