Newb here and a tire Q

[Randy Dean]

Hello to all. Lovin my new-used 04 ST and it's in need of some new rubber. I would like to go with a more low-profile look and better handling for street use only. It's a 4x2 and all stock to my notion.



Q: will 255/55-16 work well on this ST? My local tire guy seems to think it will but I'm afraid it will rub on parking tight turns etc. What do you guys think????

Sway bars/end link upgrades/shocks/2" or 3" drop will do amazing things for your handling.



I'm surprised Steve (swshawaii) didn't add that into his welcome! You're slipping, Steve!!:grin:

Steve M- Thanks for the reminder guru ! You are invaluable here, seriously. :banana:



Sure miss my three Ranchero's ('66 Falcon, '70 Torino, '79 LTD II platforms)



BTW, my ST is the best handling two ton vehicle I've ever owned, since lowering. LOL
