I need help with tires

alright so I have a 2014 GT CS I am getting 19x9.5 rims and I put about 625 to the fly with the Roush phase 2 blower and I am getting tires. I need something that will grip pretty good that is all weather wind rain snow dry roads and that will not cost me an arm and a leg. It is a daily driver not a drag car

I would get dedicated snow tires for the winter and another set of tires for summer. Well worth the investment. I run 225-55-18 snow tires in the winter with no issues.

Yep. I hate to say it but there is no tire that will do everything well...especially not on a supercharged Mustang.

I'm afraid you're going to need to bite the bullet and buy two sets of tires...or just get the best all seasons you can afford and accept that the car will be crappy in all conditions.

If your ride was normally aspirated I would recommend something like the Cooper RS3-A the (A) meaning all season rated although limited in snow this tire does not give up much in the wet and dry. However with your car being modified you will be much better off with separate wheels for winter with snow tires and a real high performance tire for the sunshine months. Putting big power to the ground is difficult enough you will really need all the help you can get so don't skimp on summer tires there are many good options out there search around on line places like the Tire Rack and Discount tire direct and read the reviews. I usually shop around in my local area and wind up getting just as good a deal from a local shop after you figure instalation and shipping. I recently got a real good price on some Toyo T1 Sports for $200.00ea including tax and instalation not a bad tire for the price.

The sidewalls on these aren't as stiff, but they are a good tire.

Cooper RS3





The tire’s “race inspired” construction includes an R-Tech Technology mold profile and silica tread compound. R-Tech optimizes the contact patch geometry to provide excellent responsiveness and maximum cornering forces, while the silica tread enhances grip for dry limit handling and maintains an exceptional level of wet performance, making it well suited for both high-performance applications and street driving.
The Cooper Zeon RS3 exceeds ROUSH’s performance expectations with its laterally-oriented shoulder grooves and uniform element geometry that help provide even tread wear. More lateral grooves on the inside of the tire maintain wet performance while more rubber on the outside tread pattern creates increased dry handling and ultimate cornering ability
