When they wear out replace them with Pilot Super Sports. They will last you much longer and are a much better tire in general. You could probably pull 20k out of the Super Sports, maybe more depending on how you drive.
You might think this, but I've been extremely pleased with the functionality of mine. I can fit a ton of stuff in it. I take it camping and fishing all the time. The hatch is quite large and deep enough to fit many large items with ease, like a new vacuum cleaner, or a 25 gallon aquarium...
Or Ford is trolling us. Milking the debut... people talking about the weight... then in a couple months they drop a really nice number that keeps people talking even longer. :confused:
Anyway, I'd guess around 450/420 for the 5.0.
20x9 wheels with 265 width summers... it won't be like trying to hook up on a skinny all season tire but it won't necessarily be ideal for maximum traction either.
I agree that Ford's tire sizing has been frustrating. I would say 255/275 should be standard on a GT. PP cars should be equipped with 275/295-305 Pilot Super Sports.
Not odd at all. The regular antenna for the coupe is built into the rear glass. This obviously can't be done with the convertible (if you want the radio to work with the top down, anyway) so it needs a conventional antenna.
If you want light wheels you might want to look somewhere other than OEM Ford wheels... unless they've decided to start offering forged Rays or Alcoas or something.
My guess is these will be popular and very easy to sell, so you'll be able to offset the price of your favorite lightweight...
