Whats wrong with a 45 or 40 series tire, in your mind? Have ran 245/45's for a long time, never any trouble.

In 17" a 275/65 would be a truck tire.

245/45/17 is the normal size tire people run on 17x8's on stangs. What came factory on the 02' GT I had with Bullit 17x8's.

What size I run on the front of my 89 and 90's street wheels.
