Hoosier's are fun too!
+1 on the above. For dry weather driving, I don't know anybody who finally tried the Hoosier's and weren't blown away by how much more grip they have. When it's cold outside, the OEM Goodyears are dangerous in year one.

So Art, no problem fitting the "Rears: Bridgestone RE050A Potenza Scuderia 345/35R19" underneath the car? Does the tire stick out past the top of rear fender/quarter panel since it is 30 mms wider than oem? Does anyone have a picture of these tires installed on their GT. Sorry for all the questions I just bought my GT in May and I am trying to catch up.
First thing I did when I bought mine from Shelby was have him replace the 5 year old Goodyears. They were in great shape but 5 years is my limit.
I don't know how bad the Goodyears were as I never drove on them but I do like the Bridgestones. The rears are a bit wider and everyone seems to like how they look.
Can someone just quickly spec what I need to get? That other thread makes my head spin. I'm interested in the Bridgestones. I have the non-BBS wheels on my car.

You can order from Tire Rack, also Discount Tire, if you have one locally will usually match Tire Rack's price including sales tax. They have good mounting and balancing equip.
No trouble at all. They are not 30 mm wider than the oem. The sizes are nominal not actual dimensions.
Here are some pics of my car with the Bridgestones installed:

See post #16. What do you mean non-BBS? All OEM wheels are BBS. Standard cast. Optional forged. Same size.

You will not be disappointed!!!I ordered my Bridgestones on Saturday.
