[QUOTE="03reptile, post: 12062331, member: 9990"] Groody: I'm in the same DC area. I too drive my Shelby on cold, clear, and dry winter days. If weather is otherwise, out comes the trusted Fusion. I had Continental DWS's on my 2011, non-SVTPP car. I was able to get an exact match for the fronts and had to settle for a slightly narrower tire for the rears, due to unavailability in the stock tire size. The DWS's actually hooked better than the Goodyears (even with the slightly different rears) and I was over-joyed with their year round performance.
