JY, it has 9"x19" front and 9.5"x19" rears. The tires are Pirelli P Zero, fronts are 255/40ZR19, the rears are 275/40ZR19.

Dave....a must is tires on the Mustang the P Zero's suck I had them. Go right for the Bridgestone RE71R put them on your car and you'll have a great starting package in FS. Tire Rack has these in stock.
255X19....$285 ea.
265X19....$306 ea.
275X19....$329 ea.
285X19....$319 ea.

HAD some cash....gotta work on that tense.......

Tires are purchased ... it is getting real

Which tires and what size did you get Bradley?

Ended up with the RE-71R, even though they did not come in my favorite sizes. I got 245/40R17 and 205/45R16 . These will also be daily drive and track tires, I hope they work close to the R888's that I'm used to. With the R888's the car is neutral and fun to drive, I may have to adjust the rake and figure out the correct shock settings to get back to the way I like it (due to smaller tires on front).

why did you go away from the R888's ? to the best of my knowledge those are still available

edit: never mind ... I realized that you want to run in STM ... 200 TW needed

You can still run 140TW tires in STM as well. Although the 71Rs seem to be faster than any other 140tw tire anyway.

yeah .. again age/memory kicks in .. I forgot the 140 was ok as long as it's just running with ETR.. if someone wants to run STM (and lots of regions are running STM) with another region, they'll have to remember that they need 200

Does an ssm car have to have alternator?can't fire it off like a CM?

As the rules stand today you can run a total loss system in SM. Last months fast track had a proposal which would outlaw total loss electrical systems.

I need the alternator. PS pump - 40 amps, Engine fan - 25 amps, Intercooler fan, 10 amps, Fuel pumps 14 amps each, Coils 5 amps each x 4, ABS brick has 2 30amp fuses...so.....With all that added up....it needs some current to run. I actually upgraded the alternator this year to a FD RX7 Alternator to give me enough headroom to not have to worry about it.

The tops of your pistons are a bit rough looking. I'd have that machined off so they're nice and flat
