Hi.
I have just purchased 2020 Bullitt w/t ricaro seat over last weekend.
I have owned a brand new 2008 Bullitt as my first mustang then moved onto the used 2008 GT500 a couple of years after since I wanted to have more power, but now I am back to 2020 Bullitt again. Even though GT500 was an awesome car to drive and race when I was young without kids, I thought the Bullitt would serve me much better now. (I just turned 40 and now have two kids). and it does!
This has been an awesome driving for the past few days with all stock Bullitt, and I seriously believe this Bullitt drives faster or at least better than my old modified(suspensions, tires, rims, and exhaust) 2008 GT500 on roads.
The only thing that I am thinking about changing is tires. I live in northern VA and the winter here is very mild. Not much snow at all (last year we did not have any), but it could be cold and slippery from time to time. (black ice is often seen throughout the winter) This is the DD that I want to take everywhere unless it snows heavily. So I am planning to change the stock tires (Michelin performance summer tires) to the A/S tires with a better than average snow rating.
So far I narrowed down my search to Michellin pilot sport A/S 3+ with the same stock size (255 front 275 back) and to Continental extreme contact dws06 with the same stock size. does anyone here have experience with any of these tires? or have a better recommendation than these? I used to have a separate set of rims mounted with winter tires when I lived in the Chicago area 10 years ago, but I think it is a waste of winter tires in northern VA since it hardly snows. and the winter tires take away the joy of driving too.
one last question is what to do with these stock almost new tires (only have 200 miles on it so far). Do you guys sell here in this forum community or craigslist? or just keep in the garage just in case.
Any input or experience of you will be appreciated.
Thanks and enjoy driving!
