Need summer tires for 2001 Cobra

[DSCobra01]

All,

What are some of my options for summer tires nowadays? I see that the BFG KDW2's are discontinued as are the Goodyear Eagle GS D3's. A few years ago, I remember those tires being pretty popular among the Mustang crowd. I have zero need for all season tires so what's everyone's recommendations on a summer set in 275/40-18 size? (corrected as I need 18s)

Thanks!

GS-D3 is still available according to DTD.

A favorite that i have used before is the Nitto NT05. Extreme grip with great looks.

One last one that i will be swapping onto my Fiesta ST when the time comes is the Bridgestone Geforce Sport Comp 2.

Thanks Kevin. I'll definitely consider the Nittos or GEforce Sport Comp 2s! The GSD3 is just a little to pricey for me at a moment based on the link you provided :-D

Still using the tried and true Nitto NT555's. Nitto DR on back.

Front tires yes. Rear is a drag radial of the same style as the front. Used them for years. NT555's.

Like kevinatfms noted, the 275/40R-17 GS-D3 is still available. We are currently sold out of this particular tire but we should have more inventory within the next couple of days :rockon: The Comp2 and NT05 are both sold performance tire models as well.

The right tire for you though will depend on what you need out of your tires as well as how much you're looking to spend. PM coming your way.
