Yes I know the stock goodyears suck. They are going. My car is mostly weekend driver, some track days. Not sure if I should go with dr's out back, and stockers on the front or replace all 4 with the mpss. My 03 Cobra had dr's on the back and goodyears on the front. Going down the highway the car never felt right. I'm not sure if this would happen with this car? Also saw somebody tried a michelin 3 season tire? I live in CT. I dont drive the car in the winter, but I will take it out on days below 50. What should I do?

I have the MPSS after talking with many on here. Could not be any Happier with my decision. I wish we could get some kind of cash back with all the talk about them...Lol...
+1 for MPSS
Apologies for the DUPLICATE POST - seems the forum is working well today...

Did you guys stick with stock size on rear or go wider?
Stock all-around here. Decided against up-sizing after learning the widest tire Michelin recommends for our 9.5" OEM rims is a 285. (Others are running 295s without incident, so YMMV.)
I look at it this way. If you do less then 3000 miles a year, the drag radials are the way to go.
I drive my car about 1500 miles a year, so they will last me about 3-4 years.
They are night and day compared to a regular tire, and this car needs them stock, nevermind if you are going to mod the car.

MPSS all the way around and upsized one size. Extremely happy with them. One of my top mods I've done. Awesome on the street and very happy with the performance I got from them on the track in the rain in Charlotte.

Sweet pics!
Agreed MPSS are the best all around tire, but to me a drag radial is the only answer for really using all of the power. MPSS will never put down power a DR can. Really depends on your goals, the R888 Toyo is another good compromise.
Please no more tire threads ;-)

I've had drag radials on the back of all my cars. Never once did it feel any different driving down the highway. I'm tempted to do this again with my Shelby but I'm at a point in my life where I'm finally realizing going faster isn't that important. I don't plan on bringing my car to the drag strip like I've done with all my cars. So my plan is when my stock tires are worn out to replace them with MPSS's.
I called discount tire direct. I can get the 285 35 20's no problem for the rear. Front I cannot get the factory size. It goes from a 265 40 19 to a 275 40 19 or 275 35 19. Anybody change the front? Do I have to worry about speedo issue? I dont have a tuner.
Thanks 09,,, here's another,,getting ready to eat a Boss 302!!
NICE !:beer:
I'm running 275/40 with 295/35 and have no issues. The speedo doesn't appear to be off using my GPS to gauge things
Absolutely go with 275/40/19 up front if you're talking about the MPSS.
My last 2 Cobras ran the Nitto 555/555R combo, my current GT500 runs NT05/NT05Rs and with correct air pressures, felt as stable as stock at high speeds.
