Had to pull the Shelby and the Bronco out of the garage and decided to take some pictures .

One of the benefits of sending the dog outside is walking past the Shelby.. LOL..

Finally decided upon new Tires for the Shelby.

Placed my order for:
Michelin Pilot Sport 4S
305/30/19 (4)
Decided upon a square setup even though the wheels sizes are staggered and I will not be able to rotate them.
Looking forward to a bit more grip in the front and a reduction of tramlining when on pedestrian roads.

Thinking about a set of Apex Wheels and dedicated tires for the Track.
Should have the new tires installed in the next couple of weeks.

Here are the stock specs:
GT350 OEM Wheel Sizes:
Front
19x10.5, 30mm offset, 60.5lb
295/35/19 stock tire
Rear
19x11" 62mm offset, 61lb
305/35/19 stock tire

The new Tires were installed on Friday.
Michelin Pilot Sport 4S
305/30/19 (4)
Decided upon a square setup even though the wheels sizes are staggered and I will not be able to rotate them.
First impressions:
Really like the look of the non stretched sidewall. Was a little worried about the 30 vs 35 sidewall height, but it really is not very noticeable. I like how the 305's in front fill out the wheel well.
Tramilning is all but eliminated and the grip felt solid.
I definitely noticed a reduction in steering response vs the MPSS, but it was not a major issue. Will most likely be purchasing a seperate set of wheels and tires for the track.

What's with the km/h on the speedo? Trying to convince yourself you're going faster? lol

yeah, I somehow hit the wrong button on the steering wheel. Had to switch it back to MPH.
I remember everyone getting a kick out of the "Ground Speed" stamp on the speedo with the S550 debut in 2015
