Wanting to run these tires.
 
Not sure if these will rub, I think the 235 width will fit, not sure with the height though.

I think these are some Badass tires, I wanna be like the Z06, Ford GT, and Charger SRT-8.

I never did like Goodyear Eagles. Too hard. Not good traction either.

Michellin makes a AAA traction rated tire that is super soft (can't remember which one it is).

Those are the one's I'll be replacing the stockers with :) You can almost pinch the rubber off
of them with your fingertips.

Thay have to be pretty good since they're what came on the Ford GT stock. Plus, I still need this tire for daily driving.

I've never seen an AAA rated tire in my life........and I put on tires everyday. You sure it's not AA?

Keep in mind, for every gain you make in traction, your lose in lifespan. I generally don't get more than 22-25k from any set of tires, on the SRT-4, or the SRT-8. WIfe 99 Blazer, thats different, its tires last 50-70K. But 220 treadwear rated tires just arent going to last real long.

I am running 245/45's on a 8" wide wheel and they only rub at full lock to the right while braking.

Are you on stock springs though? My Eibach Sportlines make my 225/45-18's rub.

If you're concerned about who uses what tires, why not use the tire that Ferrari, Lambo, and Porsche use?

Pirelli P-Zero Rosso.

Wait - that name sounds familiar...

if they are that soft then they are not going to last long,let alone be good for a daily driver tire. they maybe good for the track or auto cross but thats too soft for a daily driver like i said.

I disagree. Overpriced? Sure, but crap? I think they're good tires. People are just sad they can't get straight line traction out of them, but then, that's not really what the tires, or the car in whole, are meant for. Everyone's entitled to their own opinion, though.
