The wheels that I have on that picture are 245's I think. Although these tires look great, if they wear down quickly I may have to think about some other performance tires (BFG, Kumho, Falken?) I don't have money to get some new tires if the Nitto's run down quickly.

I thought that stripe was quite unique, until I went shopping for a profile picture I could modify. That's an East Coast thing... Found a few Bronze 2003 SS with that stripe... mostly in cream and gold, but a few black, white, and dark red. But I have a couple pictures downloaded and emailed to my house, so when I get home I can play a little.

I'd say those tires probably last half the time of a normal set of tires... a firend of mine has a set of nitto's on the back of his mustang cobra... they've been tehre since february, there about 1/3 of the way to the wear bars in 7 months of day to day driving.. i'd say they last about maybe 2 years if you get lucky. btw, i'm thinking these are nitto radials... they may just be standard tires by nitto, but as far as i know they only have drag radials. if they are street radials, disregard what i said about them wearing down becasue i know nothing about any tire they might make thats not a drag radial.

Treadwear rating is a little low, and also, the 255's are a little big, I think.

Beware of those paint pens for tires. They don't work.. I've tried them for my white letters. I ended up just using regular automotive touch up paint and a brush.
