I’m just playing around my dude

But in reality 305s on a volume level would drive up replacement costs like crazy for your average owner and would likely eliminate a bunch of alternative choices in the A/S category for people living up north

It would make more sense to make a more aggressive compound available instead since that would impact mechanical grip more than an additional 10% contact patch width

Or, AWD. ;)

If you kept it staggered, then you're looking at 295/305. That setup (last I checked), was very slim on tire options, and none of them were even moderately priced. Tough pill for the average GT owner I would think.

If they could mimic the systems in AMGs and Ms that can de-couple the front axle then sign me up

As long as they offer the option for a bespoke set of wider wheels and tires for performance trims or packages I’m all for it lol

But imagine if every GT came with those standard goodbye Mustang GTs at every local rental company

Yes, an option is all I am asking. 255 and even 275 rears seem a little thin nowadays.
