JonathanE Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 They are not over 5 years. They were designed for the KR and it came out in 08. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motorjock205 Posted September 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 What were the shipping charges? Gregg 07SGT0547 $56.00 from Vegas to Odessa, TX...wasn't bad at all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffIsHereToo Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 Do these fit stock wheels? I didn't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EL SHELBY Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 Wow! Great price on the shipping. I've been considering a set myself but all I need are rear tires. My fronts are brand new though they are the more pedestrian GT500 Goodyear F1's. Anyone interested in splitting a set with me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EL SHELBY Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 Do these fit stock wheels? I didn't think so. The 285 rear tire will fit, but its not ideal/recomended and the tire could loose it's seal in spirited driving. The 255 fronts will fit no problem.

The 255 fronts will fit no problem. I run the "fronts" on all for corners using the OEM 18" Polished SGT wheels... Still have the stock look, and can rotate them as necessary EDIT = Remember the only significant difference between these KR tires and the regular GT500 tires is that the KR version is designed to be a little softer/stickier compound... Look for the Goodyear "Wingfoot" symbol on the sidewall of the KR tires... Gregg 07SGT0547 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrKSGT Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 What were the shipping charges? Gregg 07SGT0547 Shipping on mine was $71.00 to Detroit area but 15% TS discount was applied making it onlt $11.00. Just could not pass it up. Too bad discount is gone.

motorjock205 Posted October 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 I swear, I HATE ODESSA!!! Got my new KR tires delivered last Monday, and I can't find anyone who can install them after 5PM or on Saturday when I'm off work! Ford dealer said come on down this afternoon, but when I got there, they said "Oh, we didn't realize that you needed the stick on weights. We don't have those." No one else here in town wants to touch the GT500 wheels and the KR Tires...Everything out here closes at 4:30PM or 5PM daily and most are closed on the weekends...really sucks!

3ponies Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 I ordered mine thru the local Ford Dealer to Shelby as he also got me new wheels for the GT500. I wanted one stop for everything! Looking forward to the upgrades! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philip 87 Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 Searched the goodyear site regarding the tires for a GT500 and noticed 2 EXACT specs on the F1 supercar tire. I is $130 and the other $285. The dealer does not know the difference and cannot explain it. Any thought's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodyear provided a new tire (same tread different compound) for the KR vs the GT500. Shortly there after Goodyear discontinued the OE tire for the 07-09 GT500 and dropped the price for remaining tires in inventory. The KR tire should provide better traction at a higher price.

07-2937 Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 the KR tire has a treadwear of 180 I think vs the 220 on the other. Those numbers equate to rubber hardness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbytexan Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 the KR tire has a treadwear of 180 I think vs the 220 on the other. Those numbers equate to rubber hardness Or softness as these tires want last long with that rating, but i don't think any of us are looking for 60,000 mile tires but handling and performance.
