What would be very good winter tires for the Mustang 2005 ?
I think I should order the winter tires soon, I guess they are not very common tires.

I have been quoted Pirelli Winter 210, anything else to consider?

BTW, I am still waiting to get my production date.... I have placed my order on november 1st. GT, torchred.

 

I have bought Toyo Observe GO2+, 215/60/17... I will be able to tell you next year If I like them... B)

But I think 215/60/17 is a good size for winter and it s seems that these tires were very good on ice and snow... and there are cheaper than Pirelli or Michelin X-Ice.
I have pay approx 600$ (not installed).... And I am still looking for rims....

Good luck !

 

I am suppose to be getting my 05 GT in the 1st or 2nd week of December. I am planning on getting some 225-55-17 Pirelli Winter 210's. Those were recommended to me. I have them on my current car as well and I have never had any problems.

 

So, we do not need to use the same size as the original 235/55/17 tires?

I am kinda newby in winter tires...

 

You can change the size (it is preferable to decrease the width of the tire for the winter) but you have to stay within a ±3% diameter change.

There is some website that you can use to see the change in diameter...

You can try this one...

Hi StangMary,

Did you find out some rims for your car...? most shop around here does not have anything.

 

A guy from the service at Leblanc Ford (I don't remember his name...) has ordered 4 rims for me... black one from I don't know where...
If you don't found some give a call to Leblanc Ford (450-691-4130).
T'as juste a leur dire que tu connais une fille qui a acheter une Mustang GT chez eux et que tu sais qu'ils ont ete capable de trouver des rims pour l'hiver....
J'ai appeler a pas mal de place avant sans rien trouver !!! Pis en plus, si tu en trouves ca veut pas dire que ca va fitter...
Bonne chance !

 

cool, merci

Pis les Toyo ?? Ca va tu pas pire dans la neige?

J'essaie d'en trouver des 215/60/17, mais y reste plus grand chose...

 

Jusqu'a date... ca ben de l'allure !!!! Mais y'a pas encore eu de grosses conditions hivernales par contre....
Si tu veux des Toyo comme j'ai (Toyo Observe GO2+, 215/60/17), et si ca te derange pas de te promener un peu... Appelles Pneus Mercier ((450) 691-1616) c'est la que j'ai trouve les meilleurs prix !!! Pour 4 pneus (sans la pose) j'ai paye environ 600 tx incl.... C'est pas pire du tout ! Pis si jamais tu prends les rims chez LeBlanc Ford... ben c'est a 10 minutes de la....

 

I put Michelin X-Ice 235/55/R17's on my car and they work great in the snow. Really good on hard packed snow and ice as well. Very happy with them so far.
