[QUOTE="Choppylope, post: 1435341, member: 22486"] Thank you for the welcome ttroc!! Thank you for the info, I'll be doing a little online shopping shortly. Due to my stock trans and presumably stock clutch, I won't be doing any hard launches for a while and a little wheel spin doesn't bother me ( my last car was a turbo grand prix, and would lay a patch from a 70 roll on 245's, so just being rwd now is a massive traction upgrade ) I plan on rotating the 255's to the front when tax returns come in and decide on a bigger tire/ tire and wheel combo for the rear. I don't really do much drag racing, so I'd like to find a tire option that's still going to give me traction without feeling squishy in the turns. And so far that's looking like jumping up to a bigger wheel and smaller sidewalls ( I absolutely love how cheap sticky tires are on a 16" wheel lol ). I've never heard of being able to get different sample tubes, is there a way to quickly figure out what size sample tube I need in a housing? Also, does anyone have tire size reccomendations that don't break the bank that aren't going to give too much sidewall roll? And finally, assuming I follow 955.0's advice and go with 24's and the correct maf housing, will it be possible to start and drive my mustang enough to just get it to a tuning shop?
