1971 Mustang Coupe
Just wondering I am looking for a set of tires for my 1971 Mustang Coupe I have had plenty of advice about what size I should put on but I do not believe in bigger is better! Can you tell me front and rear do I a) go with all the same size b) wider on the back narrow on the front. I have a new set of American Racing TTO Torq Thrust Original 15x7 rims. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Because the widest you should go with a 7-inch rim is in the 235 to 245 range I would go the same front and rear. A 245/60R-15 is about a half inch larger diamter than the stock tires, a 235/60R-15 is about the same diameter as the originals. They are about 1.5 and 1 inches wider.

My son and I were just discussing the same issue this weekend about roatating. He was considering going with 10 inch wheels on the back of the 2001 Bullitt. They do look good, but he decided to go with 18 x 9's all the way around.
