They do look a bit pinched on the wheel, and at 10" of tread width versus an 8.5" wheel, are likely so. The gearing is a concern, given that we may now be looking at top of second gear in the 58-59MPH range. However it's also "proven" to work.

What are the thoughts on mixing sets such as a BFG rear and Bridgestone front, since contingency is not a factor?
A friend who is a top autocrosser in our events that drives a mustang, at one time used re71s in front for steering response and bfgs in rear for more forward grip and worked well. Though he was one of few who tried it.
