What did you do to your mustang today

I was surprised when I put the rears on the front, there was no rubbing. The back is squirrely with the 255s on there. After racing for 10 years, I know I can't trust myself to not ball it up. I post some pics of them. Should be on the car today.
Good news, tires are on and no rubbing anywhere. Went from stock size 255 45 to 285 40 on the front. A few pics, showing a slight negative camber. I am going back closer to stock alignment.

I finally got new tires put on the 2010. I have had them since March, and the minimal tread left on the tires when I bought it last November contributed to some white knuckle driving during heavy rain on the highway during June’s New Hampshire run.

I have used this guy before - comes to your house, has a tire changer and balancer in a trailer, along with a lot of other gear, and is a certified mechanic. Will also do oil changes and other work at your residence or work place.

I removed and reinstalled the wheels, he put the new tires and TPMS on, and balanced the tires and programmed the TPMS. Finally, no tire pressure warning on startup, (due to a dead TPMS) battery.

Reasonably priced, efficient, competent, pleasant to deal with, and your car does not have to leave the garage - what more could you ask for?

Nice looks like good tread those tires
There are certainly better tires available, but from the research that I have done, I think the Firestone 500 is a decent tire for the price, considering all factors. One of the other members from PEI put them on his car in the Spring, and put a lot of miles on them, including the New Hampshire run, and is very happy with them. I will let them get worn in a bit before pushing them.
