Hey I have a 67' Mustang that I am putting 17x8 wheels on. I was wondering what would be the BEST Z-rated tire brand to put on my car? thanks

If money is not a factor go with pirelli p-zero's or dunlops z rated. Both companies offer great z rated tires. With me money is always a factor so on my Cobra I run 255\40 Nitto 555. This is an awesome tire and the 255 fits nice on the 8 inch rim. Nitto's have one of the biggest footprints and are great in the rain and especially the dry weather. They run about 140$ a tire out of Discount Tire Direct. Hope this helped.

It matters what you plan on doing. Are you going to road race or auto cross? Drag race or weekend warrior. The Pirelli's ride harder and are better for track stuff. I just bought some nitto 555 and love them they feel a little softer and seem to grip better. I heard yokahama makes a good tire also.

Ya, the Pzeros are a road race tire...but they work good in that department....those are what Saleen comes with. I tried to drag with those at first and that got me nowhere...literally. I'm running Yokohama AVS sports YZ rated and I'm pretty happy w/ them. I'd also try some BFG's, they seem to have alot of good feeback.

I like my Bridgestone SO-2's.

Thanks for the advice. I am planning on running the car mostly on the street, taking it to the track a couple of times, but I want good traction. I probably won't drive the car in the rain.

If money is really an issue then go with kumho! They seem to be the best for your money.
