275/40/17 KDWS Put On Today!

WOW!

I never would have thought a different tire on the rear of this car would make such a difference!:HOPPY:

I have decided that I like the feeling of being thrown back into the seat when you hit 3rd instead of the tires spinning! What a difference, I know my 0-60 really improved with these tires.

It also looks really cool from behind the Mach 1 as well. I am really pleased with these new tires. Looks, traction, and ride.

I am really glad I started with the tires, next will be the shifter.

Just curious if you think the improved traction came more from the tire compound or the increased width. Also, on what wheels did you mount the tires? Thanks!

You put 275s on the stock rims? Be careful!

[Tomcat427]

Yes, I did put 275 on the stock rims.

I do not know if it was the tire compound or the increased width. I just know it really has a lot more pull at the start. (And through the gears)

It really looks cool from the front seeing the stock tires on the front and the 275's on the back. I will try and post some pictures on Sunday.

Tomcat,
What's the actual width of these tires?

[MR.FLEX]

would love to see pics...........

[Azure]

Can you tell by looking at them if 275 tires will fit on the front?

[Tomcat427]

I will post some pic's tomorrow.

The actual width ended up at about 80%(width of rim / width of tire), don't remember the exact measurements.

The front looked really close. My sales guy thought that the 255's would be better on the front, 275's looked real tight. If I had not waited 2 hrs to have then put on I would have had him put it on the front to see. They were just too busy.

[Tomcat427]

I added som brightness so you could see the tire a little better. it did throw the color off some.

[Tomcat427]

I think I did something wrong when I was sizing the picture above. Does not look like the actual picture.

[Tomcat427]

Trying again.

[Tomcat427]

I did it again, looks cool though!

[Tomcat427]

As you can see, there is plenty of room left.

[Tomcat427]

Rear view.

[Tomcat427]

Different view

[Tomcat427]

I have decided that I cannot do the tires justice. They either look to wide or to thin after I make the picture size adjustment so I can post.

Happy New Year!!:CHEERS:

[02mach1]

[Tomcat427]

The 1st and the 3rd are my favorite. Look at how wide those tires are!!!:D

[socalmach1]
