Buy ones that are round!Sorry I know this has been discussed but I am not having any luck searching for it. What are people doing and reccomending for tires for their Shelby.
I don't need to put my 2 cents in here, but I will! The OEM tires are a bit noisy, but I don't have anything to compare them with. The other top notch tires might be noisy, too, right?Buy ones that are round!
Whats wrong with the originals?
The GY F1 Supercar tires are a very good tire. Have you pushed your car on wet or dry roads? You may be able to find a quieter tire but highly unlikely you will find a better overall performing one. Or are you looking for smaller studded tires for winter. lol
The stock tires are not recommended to be used in under 40deg F temps!
Actually, to be more accurate, tires are closer to toroid in shape rather than round. Toroid meaning doughnut-shaped.Buy ones that are round!

But, I have looked at some stuff other folks have said here and there and a lot of guys seem high on the BF Goodrich tires, I forget which exact ones. And good things are said of the Yokohama and Nitto tires, as well. I am thinking that these last two tires might be softer and maybe have a little more traction.
There is another tire I have seen on several cars at the shows and it is a Goodyear F1, but it has a different tread design. It sort of looks like V's stacked around the tire. Anyway, I like the tread design a lot!
Now some of you guys that actually know about tires help us out!
Thanks!
PS: I think the ones I mentioned are all round!
Well geeked, Mr. Prez!Actually, to be more accurate, tires are closer to toroid in shape rather than round. Toroid meaning doughnut-shaped.
Sorry, the geek in me slipped out again.![]()
Keep in mind, tires do have a limited shelf-life. Just sitting in the corner, tires will last 5-6 years before they are unsafe to use. They dry out and crack.No I dont have a problem with the tires, I dont even have my car yet, I just thought it would be neat to have the original tires from the car put away, to have in case I ever had to sell the Shelby. I am just looking for a replacement, I am sure if they work for Ford they will work for me. I did however call my local Goodyear dealer and they dont even have a price for them, anyway, round or toriod i dont care just something I wanted to do.

Yes, I know what the standard tires are. The tire tread I like is the Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3. I found it at The Tire Rack, but it might not be available in the 285's.old, The tires that come standard on shelby are Goodyear F1 Super Car tires!
The pricing I got at discount was 200 for each front and 240 for each rear. They had them in stock.
