Ok, so I have the stock 95 GT wheels, the 16" ones and I am looking for a good summer tire. They're 225/55-16. I can't find any Nittos in that size so I was wondering if anyone had any recommendation on tires in that size. Please note, my stang is summer only.

Pretty sure you can run a 245/50/16 on that rim and be just fine. Something like a Falken Ziek 502 would be a good tire for you. Also check out tires.com


they have some clearance tires sometimes. That is how i got my 255/45zr/17 Hankook for 80 each shipped to my door.

Nitto 450 in 225/55/16: http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direct/tires/nitto/product/submitProductSize.do?pc=40091&typ=Passenger%2FPerformance&tmn=NT+450+Extreme+Performance

The 450s would probably be your best bang-for-buck, especially if you plan on getting bigger wheels down the road... All three of these tires
should do great on dry pavement, as well as the occasional rain.. Although rumor has it that Goodyear is going down the tubes, so maybe stay
away from them for warranty purposes..

Yeah the Ziek 512 is a great tire. I had them on my old Tri Bars and i loved them. A little soft on the compound but rode good and stuck good.

The front tires i had were at about 6-7/32 after 12,000 miles. The rears didn't last too long the ex liked to do brake stands A LOT and when i mean A LOT. Yeah you get the point so they lasted 12,000 miles. But all in all a great tire i would def buy them again.
