New tires for my 2019 Shelby GT350

[1995COBRA-R]

My GT350 just turned 4 years old on 7-5-23. Great car for the price.

The Michelin Pilot Cup 2 tires were now junk, and I decided to go with the Pilot 4S (only $100 less for 4) in:
295-35 X R19 and 325-30 X R19.

I'll lose some grip that I rarely needed. I plan to get four times the tire mileage. The old tires were done at 4000 miles, but I limped around to 6000 miles. The extra grip was good in the mountains but not so helpful in Atlanta traffic.

The new tires are good with a great ride and handling. I started at 34 lbs all around but may lower the tire pressures to find the best performance. We have smooth roads here. It's a performance tire but not a racing tire.

It's the best Ford engine but probably not the best looking Mustang. I wish Ford would make a new S650 generation platform GT350.

New 7-21-23 update. I did the 6 Gap run in the north GA mountains. The tires are good.

I bought an old gun up in Blairsville, GA so I drove the GT350 to the meeting place. Nice gun and in better shape than advertised.

I took the alternative trip back. The car was much better on alternative highways that the locals avoid.

This is not a super car.

It's a car that I paid $58K (plus tax). Nothing is exotic other than the rare flat-plan-crank engine.

I drove it today in 50 degrees F. It's been on a battery charger but needed all fluids warmed up to temps. The engine liked the cool air. The tires needed it as they were a little flat-spotted.

It's go to go this spring for a For car show in May.

I hit the warmer temps today in the Six Gaps. It was great with no traffic.

The new tires worked great. It's all stock GT350 suspension.
