Hope everyone is doing well. I am looking to change the tires on my Ford GT. The current tire size and brand I have are Michelin 245/40 Front 345/35 rears. I was thinking about going with the Cup tire unless another brand/tire size is recommended. Stillen recommended this tire size a few years back. The car may see some track days but will mostly be driven on the road and attending various car shows and charity events. Any insight would be great thank you.

How about the Bridgestones that many of us are using?

I thought the Michelins didn't fit? Are you running stock wheels?
 
Bridgestones. Search will find many topics on tires.

345/35 Michelin's? Do you mean 345/30?
 
You can get MichElin but the circumference is smaller.
 
Bridgestones all the way they are a game changer and the 345 rear fits perfectly
 
Pasha,

The ONLY currently available rear tire to fit your GT is the Bridgestone 345/30-19. Order the matching front 265/40-18. Let me know if you need any help to get or install the tires for you. We are not that far from you. Let us know soon as we will be taking ~1-year off as we sell this house and are busy building new house.

Thank you for the info I will reach out to you.
 
Hi, there: So 345/30R19 Michelins on rear and 265/30R18 on front (in that combination) fit and work well?
I cannot get Bridgestone here so this would be an alternative.
