I do understand. If I were going to buy two sets of tires, I would buy for the summer either Michelin Pilot Sports 4s or Continental Extreme Contact Sports. For the all seasons it would be either the Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4, Michelin AS3+, or the new Continental Extreme Contact DW06 plus.

If you are not looking to be doing any kind of racing or really "spirited driving", I would go with either of the "3" all season tires I mentioned above, as an all year tire.

Which tires are on your car now? If they are the OE Pirelli's, they are not run flats. The 5.0 easily overwhelms the stock tires in any weather. Are you planning to increase the stock size and or buying larger wheels?

Augusta, has a good Mustang Club with a lot of nice people.

If you come out this way, let me know. I'm always looking forward to meeting other Mustang owners.

The tires are Eagle F1 Asymmetric 265/35r20 All-Season, so they're not Run Flats. I know I can get a better ride with other options, and the suspension on this car is much improved over the Camaro.

I'm debating whether or not to go the All Summer tire, then another set for All-Seasons, or stick All-Seasons. This is my Daily Diver. I really hate these run flats on my car. My Camaro had the same tires and I replaced them with Continental Extreme Contact DW06 back in 2019 and it was a night and day difference as far as performance and handling.

This time around I'm looking at the Pilots 4s Summer and the Pilot A All-Season.
Any Suggestions would be appreciated.
You live in Georgia. Why do you think you need All-Season tires?

Get the Michelin MP4Ss, they're awesome.

We get 4 seasons here, it's not completely warm all year round. It can get as high as the 100s, and as low as the 20s here, with an occasional snow period here and there. So those days of Mild weather are just about over in the southeast region of the state. For example, tomorrow morning and Saturday lows will be in the 30s.

Georgia does not, in any way, shape or form, get 4 seasons. If you had lived where they actually do, you'd understand that.

"In Statesboro, the summers are hot and oppressive, the winters are short and cold, and it is wet and partly cloudy year round. Over the course of the year, the temperature typically varies from 39°F to 94°F and is rarely below 26°F or above 99°F."

It might get down into the 20s a few times a year. At best.

MP4Ss will work just fine. I use them for year-'round DDing in VA.

I've lived here for 20 years now and In the same region of the state. Within the last 10 years, we've encounted snow and 20 degree weather more frequently. The people down here still cannot cope with snow compared to those that are used to it.

What do you mean by "If you had lived where they actually do"?
