Those are 19x11 SVE GT-7's from LMR, and are bronze in spite of looking gray. They haven't been available through LMR for a while but will hopefully be back. I love them - they're lighter than the OEM 19x9 wheels and super easy to clean. The bronze seems to hide brake dust really well, too. Here's an old ad for them. Might check with LMR to see if/when they will be back in stock.
also known as MRR M600. You can find them anew on ebay in black. Either people found them in the back of a warehouse or someone commissioned another run.
Thanks for the reminder on the MRR’s, I was totally drawing a blank on them.
if there is any moisture you're in for a surprise. If you can somehow guarantee enough miles of travel to get the temp compound up a bit in temperature and at no time needing to use the brakes with urgency or make large changes in direction you'll be fine.
It is very bad and very dangerous. Try it once and you will most likely agree.
It's not recommended, but I'd argue that it isn't deadly if you're careful. Of course shouldn't be done on the regular (only if you must drive) and you should get winters (if you're driving it through winter), but being cautious with throttle (especially in turns) should work. If you must drive, just toggle it to snow/wet mode and go easy.
You can be the most careful driver on the planet but what about the idiot that blows a red light or stop sign. There are a million way for this can go wrong. Why would you take the chance? Just get the right tires for the job.
THAT’S the logo on a factory Mach 1 cover? Holy shit.Put the OEM Ford car cover on for winter storage. We’ll be back out in 5 months or so.
Ty. So it came with the summer tires and the dealer wouldn't swap to an all season for the same price. So my options are :It's not recommended, but I'd argue that it isn't deadly if you're careful. Of course shouldn't be done on the regular (only if you must drive) and you should get winters (if you're driving it through winter), but being cautious with throttle (especially in turns) should work.

Mine's currently at the dealer, as soon as it's back I'm putting my winters on, but I've done a couple of morning drives on the summers when it was in low 30s last week.
Also as I mentioned earlier and also learnt my own lesson - doesn't matter if it gets to 55-60F during the day when your vehicle is parked at your work. If you drive to work when it's 38F in the morning, winter tires will be better.
My GF had a half hour drive for an appointment yesterday and she chose the 'stang with summer tires on it over her Subaru AWD, temperature at 35 degrees. She knows enough to watch tire pressures in the IC.... drives like a grandma yet can row her own gears
