Winter tires??

[UMDrummer]

Does anyone know if there are winter tires for this car? Or what other options there would be? I have heard there's a unique bolt-pattern for the GT350, so even other rims wouldn't fit.

This car would be my daily driver, but I really can't risk my life with summer/performance tires in the Michigan winter. I don't want my dreams of owning this vehicle to be crushed.

Does anyone know of winter options for sure??

I also live in Michigan, Why would you buy this car and drive it in the winter? Save the tire money and buy a winter beater. It's not worth ruining your shelby or dreams.

Why not get a winter beater? Just curious.

Same question here. Just learned my car has been built and shipping in the next two weeks. Stop with the 'why'questions and please just give a legit response to the original question. Thanks.

RWD cars are capable in winter. It's like people forget that we had RWD cars back in the day (I'm 28 btw) and people survived just fine.

@OP, check out Tire Rack. This link should take you to a 2012 Mustang GT w/ 235/18 tires and standard brakes. That's what's indicated on your profile, so I just used that. You can search for your exact car, and you can filter by winter tires. I highly recommend the Blizzak WS80. It's about $700 a set for the tires alone (assuming 235/50R18).

OOPS, looks like you're looking for tires on the GT350 (congrats). I accidentally (and jealously) wandered into this subforum. Apologies.

Nobody put snow tires on a mustang. Especially a shelby and 19" wheels. The shelbys have 15" rear brembos good luck. I don't think a 18" wheel will fit. For $700 u can buy a beater.

Because of the amount of salt Michigan uses.

What part of 'just answer the question' don't you understand? My bad for 'only' being able to afford my GT350. Enjoy yours....

If you're so smart then why are you asking this question about winter / snow tires? According to you you already have the answer your looking for. I mean seriously visit a tire store or look online. Duh. But don't cry if you put it in a ditch or slide into something. I hope for your sake and for your safety you don't.

If I was so smart I wouldn't have asked genius.

Dude what are you 12? You have a 2013 mustang. What tires do you have on that?

Blizzaks...but for a regular 2013 GT. If it was that obvious I wouldn't have asked. Curious given the size and looking for other opinions. And no....41

I asked the same question here a few weeks back. I even contacted tirerack who said as soon as they could get their hands on a gt350 they'll figure out if any aftermarket rims fit, and if so which winter tires can go on them.

To all the "winter beater" camp, at least in my case it's not like one necessarily wants to drive the shelby through 10 inches of snow, but if there's a nice yet very cold day in the next four or five months, I want the freedom to take the car out and not do that on high performance rubber, which is not only unpleasant but unsafe.
So the OP's and my question is valid and "get a beater" is definitely not the answer.

 

[UMDrummer]

The amount of trolls here is unreal. The question was if there are winter tires available for the GT350 or not. I searched online for GT350 and nothing came up. There are two different sized wheels, and my buddy told me they do not make them for those sizes. I am asking in the GT350 forum for answers. If you have to give the, "why not buy a beater?" line, then save your response and go crawl back in your hole.

What I want to know is 1) if anyone has experience with sizing winter tires on the STOCK wheels. And 2) if not, will other rims fit on the vehicle?

Any other responses are irrelevant.
