As we all know, the standard tires on the base GT (and possibly Ecoboost?) are the 235/50 18-inch P Zero Nero all seasons. I don't think that it's unreasonable that the car comes with all-seasons, given the diverse nature of the North American climate--summer tires are not going to work well in many parts of the country. But on a 460 HP performance car weighing 3700 lb (or more), 235-width tires is really not sufficient. And the Nero all-seasons, while maybe being a reasonably good tire when they were released 9-10 years ago, are not competitive with more recent all-season designs like the Michelin A/S 3+ or even the Pirelli "All Season Plus" or General AS-05. Does Ford have a giant warehouse of P Zero Neros that they got dirt cheap? Anyway, I think Mustang buyers would be much better served if the base car came with at least, say, 245/45 tires of a more modern design. Not that Ford cares a lot about what I think, or that anyone from Ford will ever read this.
