The continentals I was trying to put on aren’t directional but they are asymmetricalAre your tires directional? If they've mounted them "incorrectly" that would cause issues.
It may be stamped or embossed on the wheels themselves.I’m unsure of wheel width
If memory serves, Continentals were among the tires more sensitive to lateral tire flex. That sensitivity would be exaggerated by mounting them on wheels that are on the narrow side for the size installed.The continentals I was trying to put on aren’t directional but they are asymmetrical
Also, if they're stock Mustang wheels, then you could just take a picture and we'd be able to tell the width of them. I'm thinking that it's an issue of too wide a tire on a skinny wheels as Norm as suggested.
Eventually I’ll get a set of track wheels to mount the 275s on, will I need to do any adjustments for the wider wheels for the sensors?Yes, those are the "black accent package" wheels, which are 8.5" wide. They come standard with 255/40R19 tires, but you definitely don't want to put anything wider than that on them. A 275/40R19 tire on that wheel will do funny things. I think that's what the issue is.
Did you have to do any adjustments switching to the 10” wheels?Agreed, I have a those 275 tires on a 10" Wide wheel and they are just about right for the width.
