New to the forum, new to Mustangs. Apologies for first post, but have been reading for a few weeks 
Almost 2 weeks ago, I've ordered a Mustang GT Premium with Performance Pack level 2 (and a few other options), I was already interested in all the things in Performance Pack Level 1 (this was my test-drive vehicle), but was also interested in Magnetic suspension and the digital dash; so for $800 more I'd get really nice wheels and tires and some suspension upgrades; not a bad deal, IMO.
The only thing is that in Oklahoma, the weather here can go from cold to hot in the fall-through-spring, depending on which way the wind blows that hour. It's not uncommong for the weather to be below freezing in the morning to 70 in the afternoon.
This got me thinking about those tires that come with the PPK2, they're even more track-oriented than typical summer tires, which I know that summer tires don't fair well when it gets below 40F. Plus comments on tirerack about how they don't do wet very well, and, in Oklahoma generally when it rains there's a lot of water on the roadways because it comes down fast and hard.
Add to that, 305/30R19 seems to only be available as a summer or track tire.
*** So that leads me to the question...would PPK1-compatible wheels work on the PPK2? Were there any changes that would give concern to PPK1 wheels (or ones noted as compatible with PPK1) fitting on the car?
My thought is that I'd get some wheels and tires that are all-season so I can have this as my daily-driver, while keeping the included PPK2 wheels and tires for HPDE/Track-fun events; maybe later change them over to less aggressive rubbers.
*** Also, I thought I read on here somewhere that you can reprogram the car for different tire/wheels sizes, but maybe not. Anyone confirm or deny that?
Thank you!
(also, estimated deliver will be July!! First-world problem!)
