I bought tires for three vehicles all at once, and the drags, so the total bill was several thousand, but Iwant to say the goodyears were somewhere in the 350-400 range per tire if I remember right.....any discount tire should be able to tell you.

Thanks

Any reason to keep the spare from the Mustang GT that was left in the car? Obviously if cannot be used due to the smaller rim size causing the car to be too low.

no.

wrong size and will not clear front calipers, or rear calipers if you had them upgraded.

OK

so now that my car is finally done at SAI, and I might soon be able to drive it, the question is: What to do (other than a can of fix-a-flat) since the spare won't fit? is the there an option for another wheel from Shelby? would a wheel that fits the brakes fit in the trunk well?

thanks.

Pat

Here is the issue. The tires are lefts and rights so you would really have to carry two spares tires. Therefore, just purchase some extra tires (1 left 1 right) and leave them in your garage. In case anything happens you will be able to get back on the road ASAP (after being flat bedded home) since most tire places do not stock this tire.

Just yank out you ford spare and you can store a lot of towels and detail spray in that space.......

Enjoy the car and be safe.

I want to get a set of left and right rpalcement rims with mounted and balance tires, but cannot from the factory. If something happens tomy tires and rims, it would take weeks to get tires un mounted, shipped and new ones sent to hawaii. I am looking for a set of the most similar appearing rims in the same series size to keep on hand. Any suggestions. The GT spare I can keep for my wife's 2011 5.0. Funny that everything else that was taken off the GT350 for conversion on the Mustaqng GT and the unuseable spare left in place and not sent back to Ford for a credit.
