Hello All,
Looking for Tire advice for my 2013 Mustang GT which I just bought.
Current Setup
245x45x19 all round. Wheels are from American Muscle - 19x8.5 all round. All 4 tires need to be changed.
The previous owner gave me 2 used 245x45x19 with 7/32 tread from the same car before they changed the wheels. Pirelli P Zero Nero All Season.
New setup
Looking to keep the 245x45x19 on the front.
For the rear I plan to buy a pair of 275x40x19.
Where do I live?
I live in Miami Florida so I am pretty sure I need All Summer Tires.
What I need?
I need tires with good grip when it rains aka pours here. I mostly drive my car on weekends, say 75% highway and 25% city. Only Street Car. Will never be on track.
My research
I went to tirerack, and decided to use their recommendation guide, and they showed me below options.
Sumitomo HTR Z3
Kumho Ecsta Ps 91
Bridgestone Potenza S04 Pole Position
Not looking to spend $300 a tire on the Michelins.
Questions
1. Is the setup of 245x45x19 on front, and 275x40x19 on the rear fine? I checked the overall diameter, and it will be same.
2. Can i have different set of brands on front and rear (as I already have a pair of 245x45x19 for the front). If not, would it be wise to go 275x40x19 on all 4 tires?
3. Is the Sumitomo HTR Z3 a good tire? I have read mixed reviews about them on various Mustang forums.
4. Any other tire recommendations
Thanks.
