The rears on a GT500 come with 285/40/18 tires on a 18x9.5 rim.

Check here for pics of a 305/45/18 on a stock GT500 wheel. Not saying it doesn't rub. Pic looks cool though.

No they are not,

All season tires do not work as well as summer tires in the summer, and they do not work as good as winter/snow tires in the cold. They are the wrong rubber mix for summer and the wrong mix for the winter. Now if you live somewhere it does not get below 40f or about 70f all year and you dont push your car to the edge, then yes they will be fine.

But if you want the best tires you need to have a set for the summer, weather above 40f and a set of winter/snow tires for weather below 40f.

for example this last winter, i went from my summer tires, Pirelli PZero Rosso 285-40-zr18 to my stock Pirelli PZero Nero All Season 235-55-zr17 and i could telll that the car started handling better, now it was starting to get cold around then(early October, temp ~5c/~40f) and in early December went to a real winter tires, needed new tires in the back for some reason, to Bridgestone Blizzak LM-60 also 235-55-r17 and even before the snow was a factor they handled better then the all seasons. The Blizzaks stopped better, turn better, and yes i drive my Mustang all year long. Anyone that claims a all season tire is good enough has never had to do any sort of panic maneuver in bad weather.

All-season tires like all compromise products are only ok, and will never be the best at any one thing.

dagamore,

I think the other guy understands that. For an all-season tire, you are compromising one for the other, and visa versa. Some people rather buy one set of tires instead of twp during the year. Sure, you are splitting up the mileage, so the 2 stets will last longer, but you will either need a 2nd set of rims, or have them removed, and than mounted and balanced twice a year.

Nobody is disagreeing that they are the best tires, but the reason people do all-season, is because of money issues.

That's What I do I have my stock 19's all season for Nov to April running my 87 tune so Speedo matchs and in summer the 20's w/ 93 tune that has my speedo matching with those. I really wish they made those godspeed in 19's I can get the 20's close to same diameter but without my tuner putting on dyno and tuning in the revs on the 20's it would be about 1.5 mph off using the SCTX3 handheld, it does not go one number at a time it steps it by 5 to 10 revs so not easy to match but a tuner on a dyno can. I know not a big deal but after 30,000 miles now you are at 34,000 if you sold and said mile on odometer are right you are lying.
