When I bought my Mustang, it came with these tires. Since then, I have run a set of Kuhmos and I just put on my second set of Sumis.

I run 315's in the back, have 4.10's, and run 380 rwhp. The grip quite well actually and I will keep buying them. Before adding the blower, i used to pull 2.0 60 foot times which is about as good as you will find on a street tire. Hell, there are some guys on this site running DR's that would kill for a 2.0 60 foot.

Now, I think the 20's are nuts. Not my cup of tea. I am no fan of modding a Mustang to make is slower. Those 20's are gonna cripple your Mustang. Traction is gonna suck no matter what tire your use. On a wheel that big, the sidewalls are soo stiff, that it is hard to get them to hook on launch. Also, they litteraly absorb hp with all the added rotational weight. They also kill your brakes. More rotational mass means the brakes have to work harder to stop.

It is your car and your choice, but I would never get 20's on my car....you might as well drag an anchor behind you.
