Best place to buy tires

[Reaper5.0]

Looking for tires for the '95 GT. Wheels are 17" Bullitt's. I was going to get 245/45/17 for the front and 275/40/17 for the rear.

I’ve had good experiences with:
Nantucket Tire (Scarborough). ...edit: maybe not there anymore?
Joy City Tire (Markham)
Bramalea Tire (Brampton)
FastEd (insert Ford dealership here)

You might want to consider 245/40/17 for the front, the 45's always look taller then 275/40/17

Also checkout PMCtire.com they usually have good pricing

Just thought the 245/45 would be same height as 275/40 but I'll look into it. Thanks for the input guys!

Definitely this if it's a fox. I know on the SN95 245/45/17 is the stock size. Would a 275/45/17 be an option for the rear?

For specific dimensions of one tire vs another, best to go to the specific mfg web site for exact measurements. Same size tire can vary by a significant amount brand to brand.

Would be, but nobody makes that size ... :-)

Should check Kijiji too for tires. Lots of places will have some type low price or discount or rebate. Bought my winters from an ad on Kijiji from Tire Discounters. Just tires no install. $760 with a $60 rebate so that’s $700 for new 225/55/18. Got quotes for over $1000 for installed tires at other places.

I've been buying tires from A.I.M. on Dennison in Markham for 25 years. Phil or Max, the owners know their tires inside out and have never steered me wrong.
Recently I bought new Continentals for the Jag on their assurance. I am very happy with them. It turns out F-types are extremely finicky as to what tires work best for them, and they were able to give me the right ones. They also had the best price of 5 shops I checked

Just ordered my track rubber from Ed.
Thank you!!!!

Kipling Tire is good and they tighten lug nuts by hand with a torque wrench to spec so no impact wrench goons to worry about.

Bought some snows from https://quattrotires.com/ Price was very good and delivered to my door.

Reaper, I have heard good reviews about Toronto Tires but they are in the west end (Mississauga).

If you haven’t bought rubber yet then it may be a good time to switch things up a bit and get some wider and/or slightly larger wheels. On a 95 GT they look really good with a 275/40/17 front and 315/35/17 rear. Really fills the back wells up nicely and you can run a Nitto 555g2 and still keep prices relatively reasonable. Alternatively, you could look at running 275/40/17 square setup and the car will be nicely balanced (stock size on 03/04 cobra btw) and handle nicely for track days with less under steer as the car was originally designed to run a square setup.

If budget allows moving up to an 18” setup will modernize the car and give you more tire options. Running a 275/35/18 front and 315/30/18 looks very nice as well. LMR has some really nice options available and they are made for Mustang fitments that shouldn’t really increase unsprung weight.

Just some other options to consider.

Which one are you looking at Don?

[RedSN]

I’ve always liked the look of the FR500 wheels on an SN95

[FABMAN]

I have always purchased from Braiden Tire in Markham. The service is very very good.
