I want to preface my response by admitting that I am a Supra biggot99YellowStang said:

That off my chest, the more rubber you have on the ground (in general) the better. Also, the shorter the sidewall, the better for handling. Next, the compound of rubber that you run has at least (if not more) of an effect than the width of your tire. Lastly, the width of your tire should match the weight distribution of your car and the stiffness of your suspension. Admittedly, I am unfamiliar with the weight distribution of a rust...er...mustang. On a Supra (this is Supraforums, is it not), some (roadracers) have said that the ideal combination is 285 rubber on 18x10" rims up front and 315 rubber on 17x11.5" rims in the back. This assumes that you have appropriate suspension on that Supra to match the rubber.
