Goodyear needs a Mustang to show off a new 245/45ZR17 tire on February 2 in the Nashville area. It can be any model year Mustang as long as it looks good and has the stock brakes.

Please post pics of your car if you're interested.

I think they were looking specifically in the Nashville area, but can't hurt to ask, I suppose.

Only an hour away but they probably wouldn't want an '05 unless it has been lowered.

Yeah but the Machs with the stock size tires won't look as bad as an unlowered '05 with tires that are a half inch shorter. I'll take some pics of mine with the 245/45/17 Nittos that I will be using for AutoX when I get them mounted.

Heard back, he said it "looked" good and they would be getting back with me soon. How soon? I don't have any idea. :P

Well, heard back. They are shipping me Kelly Brand 245/45/ZR17 tires, and I assume they'll send me someplace to mount them for the Feb 2nd Show.

I really like my Nittos, so these better look good :P

Very Piossibly, but I don't have the details on the style yet. Those don't look bad at all.

Update: They ended up being 245/45/17 Fierce Tires -- a new brand Goodyear has/will roll out. The tires aren't bad at all. They look pretty good, seem to handle well, and do pretty darn good in wet/slick weather.
