I am looking to buy a new set of tires for my GT. Where is the best place to buy a new set these day?
I searched Tire Rack and they are out of the rears.
 
Some time ago I saw that Amazon had them. The link here:


I just checked both links and they are live and show in stock and free shipping.

They can't check date codes but you can return them.

In another topic someone reported that Discount Tire had them.
 
I have bought from tire rack. Have to ask about date codes. They were reluctant to confirm them, but did.
 
I bought a set of Bridgestone fronts from Tire Rack 2 weeks ago. Date codes were about 1 year old. I’m okay with that.
 
Simpletire.com
 
Front and rear Bridgestones from tire rack 3 weeks ago. Requested newest available which were 2019's.

Going to have to communicate with a human to make that work.
 
Discount Tire. I was able to get fresh Bridgestones a few months ago
 
Your local Ford Store will price match any advertised offer.

Including the Bridgestones?

Yes, but no road hazard coverage or any extra like Tire Rack.

Yes. They can order most any tire available.
 
I would never let the kids at Discount Tire touch my car or rims. And I have a large account there.

Custom shops only for me.
 
I got my own touch less tire machine, about a year ago. Getting pretty good with it. No GT wheels yet, but I will. This way its MY fault if something happens.

I bought my tires from Tire Rack, but had a local Porche dealer mount them on the wheels.

Are you doing your own balancing as well?

He is too off-balanced for that.
 
Thanks Frank.....

Yes, with a very old 3 phase FMC balancer. I need to upgrade it, but for now, and the years Ive had it, its fine.
