What brand tires and size should I go with for Shag?--Decision made

OK, I need to poop or get off the pot regarding new shoes for Shag. The only thing I am certain about is that I'm going with the very traditional AR's TTD rims. I'm leaning to 16x8 rims just so I have a better selection of tires as compared to 15's. Would prefer not to go as big as 17's.

I'm also considering all four tires being the same size instead of fatties in the back.

How about 215x ? x ?

Tire brand-Blackside wall, want to try something different than BFGoodrich which is what we're running on Red. The car will not be used on the track so what's a good brand?

Craig,

This is just too easy...

Given your penchant for Mustangs and cooking there is only one choice:

you need at least 225s in there. I'd recommend Yokohama ADVAN Neova AD08 in 225 50 16 size....

Some 22" donks would fit right in.

Here you go Craig, I know Shag's a FB but you get the idea.

Try them on Shag and see what you think.

I love my 225/60/15s.

edit: but I see you want 16" rims, so...nevermind.

Size is up to you; but I think, IMHO, you need Dual RedLine Tires for the "look".

Jeremy, there you go attempting to think.


Decision made: BF Goodrich GForce as suggested by Dave S. Size 225/50/16. Mounted on AR's TTD gray spoke wheels. Picking them up tonight.

Craig,

Will there be any fitment/clearance issues running a 225/50/16 up front?
 
As you know, I have 16"x8" rims with a 225/50/16 tires at all four corners. I went with Falken Azenis RT-615 tires. These tires are Falken's DOT legal competition tire, but I have a 4k miles on them and they still have a lot of tread. These tires have amazing dry surface grip and reinforced side walls for lateral load support. Also, the cost per tire is pretty darn affordable (you can find them online for ~$100 per tire).
