Im planning on getting a full new set of tires soon and i was wondering what are some good wet/dry traction tires and sizes you'd reccomend with good wear and not to pricey? Im currently running 245/45ZR17 by 9 all the way around and i rub a bit in the front since its lowered. by the way its a 91 fox.

i was thinking about getting the kdw II's. How are they? and do you rub with your tire size? and is it lowered?

the only rubbing I get is in the driver front and that's because it sits about 1/4" lower on that side. When I get the $$$ I'm putting coil over on at least the front. Yes the car is lowered. The tires work great even in the wet ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

Yup get the gforce kdw II's...I couldn't afford them so I got the model gforce right below them and love them. Very good in the rain if you HAVE to drive the mustang in rain. Awesome launching and cornering is very responsive. But what I had before to compair them to is night and day.

Goodyear F1-D3, hands down the best wet weather tire, and great in the dry too.. Had good tread life.

I second that. The Goodyear GSD 3's are the best street tires avalable.
