Hello, new to Mustangs but the car we have is in need of tires, thought about it and looked at the current 245 /50 16" on stock aluminum mag rims seems to be a bit oversized. Stock according to tire rack is 205 65 15", or 225 55 16"
I was figuring' a smaller tire would help in a number of ways - less unsprung mass, less rotational mass, lowers car, gives a "lower" (numerically higher) drive ratio for better acceleration (slightly). Must fit stock rims, or you can give suggested rims.
I was thinking something like this:

We can't use under 200 treadwear and making it last a little longer isnt' a bad thing for a budget race series. Will have second set however.
TIA - S
