Time for new tires?
Decent tread but the rubber looks terrible. Is it time to toss these out and get new ones regardless ? All 4 look about the same wear and tear. These are stock tires, which I want to get rid of if my pocketbook allows it. IF they need to be replaced immediately, then I will find a way.

I was looking to get some new rims. Some "sport editions" on tirerack caught my eye but they seem to be a house brand. Not sure if I should just dump these now or wait a few months. One part of my issue is I don't want to store the old rims/tires since I will be moving in late spring but if the tire change needs to be done soon, then I'll just have to.

Them tires will run for awhile. If you get a new set and run them hard they will look the same way. Save your money buy new rims and tires. Your car will look so much better! If you buy rims, Jump to the bigger sizes, Really changes the look and you will have better brake options down the road.

those are fine... thats what spirited driving looks like (Was the bodyshop autocrossing your car?).
Wait till you can buy wheels and tires together. (Then keep your stocks for racing). So many places have awesome deals on package deals for these cars that it doesn't end up costing you much more than just tires. also, I'd say go with 18's... great for availability, price, and fit.

I was thinking of going with 18" rims, there seems to be a much larger selection.
I was looking at tirerack.com, and discount tires. What are some other good sites to find good combination packages?
Looking for all season tires since this is my DD and winters are rather mild here, so no need for additional winter tires. Plus I can't really afford to spend more on them.
Seen these recommended for another GT that is located in MD also.

a CD? anything nice? hopefully that rattling speaker didn't come from them rocking out the shop with your shaker.
I'd check out mustang specific places. americanmuscle has some good stuff. I ended up getting a killer deal on my 20's from wheelreplica.com but their website isn't great so you may do well calling them. Also, if you have any good local wheel places it's always good to support them!
