Default New tires and possibly new wheels

Hey Guys,

It is time to replace my wheels and I wanted to get your opinions on some of the tire/wheel deals that some venders (NTO and American Muscle) have as options.

I need an all-season tire as my mustang is driven year round.

Please tell me what you guys thing of the deal, the tire itself, how good they are in the snow and any general opinions for the combo/tires themselves.

I like my Nitto Motivos for all season tires. PZeros were okay, but i feel a lot more confident on the Motivos.
I would look at getting 18 and adding more rubber. I had the V6 Pony Package and had no problem with 18's,,,don't know about the non Pony Package V6.
Bullets look great on the Mustang, so all good there.

I switched to the Nitto Motivo as well. Been very pleased with them. A lot quieter than the Pirelli Pzero Nero was. I drive through all kinds of weather too, and have had the car out in snow storms, rain, and ice storms with no problems.

I just had continental DWS put on my gt in January. They are incredible, worth looking into.

No, the Nitto in your link is the N555, and I don't believe those are an all season tire.

This is the Motivo, at Discount Tire (I don't believe American Muscle carries that model)

Thank you.
Awesome. It sounds like you're definitely on the right track. The Chrome bullitt Wheels are going to look really cool on your Mustang. As far as tires go, you really can't go wrong in my opinion. Any of the tires that you picked out or the tires that are listed in this thread, they're all great. I've had the Sumitomo's, NT555's, Motivo's and many more options and have been satisfied with all of them. If you're looking for all season the Pirelli's are also a great option!

Give our CS team a call and they'll gladly walk you through any questions you may have! Our Mustang Experts are here Monday-Friday from 9AM-9PM EST and Saturdays from 9AM-5:30PM EST. If you want to hit them up, their number is 866.727.1266. I can also have one of them call you directly.

Hope this helps!

-Dan

I had planned to call but I wanted to get some information first before I started asking questions.
