I need a shorter tire...40 series maybe...

[Big House]

Or at least one witha stiffer side wall. The Grabber UHP's that I have are not cutting the mustard anymore and I need better stability. Has anyone gone as low as an 40 series tire on our cars? I am thinking 245/40 on all corners.

Haven't seen an aspect ratio that low on an MM that I can remember except on those wagon wheel cars. Imagine it would make for a pretty stiff ride.

I got a set of Grabbers on the back of mine and they stink. I wished I'd never got them. Feels like the a$$ end is swaying back and forth. What you have to be concerned with is not some much the size vs the wear rating, the double sidewall (rim protector ridge) and speed rating. Higher speed rating = stiffer side wall. ;)

I have been running 255/45 - 18 on all four since '08.
+60K miles and very happy with them!

I put General Grabber UHPs on my first marauder as a replacement for Nitto 420s and I almost wrecked the car the first time I merged onto the highway, my option is that the sidewalls are way too weak.

I am running 255/35/20 up front and 315/35/20 in the rears on Nitto NT05 tires. Handling is awesome on these tires and grips. Ride is on par with OE over most road surfaced pot holes you will feel more feedback on the steering wheel. But I wouldn't go back.

I agree totally.

I'm running 255/45 Front and 265/50 Rear. Noticed better handling after switching from 235/50 Front and 255/55 Rear.

I had 245/40-18s on the front. They were too low on my MM and I kept hitting the lower shield on the parking humps.

OMG...I never thought I would consider 20's on my car but my mind has changed. What are those wheels and where can I get them. DAYUM!!!!!!

^^ I was in the same boat until my buddy posted these rims on the local mustang club website. He lives 5m away had him bring by for a fit test.
