kpl88 Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Hey everyone! Picked up a 2013. I've endured through 8 straight years of school for the perfect car, and I couldn't be more excited about it after doing a vast amount of research on what I wanted. All the all nighter's were worth it lol. Haven't driven a manual in awhile so I'm trying to get used to the clutch still. Does removing the clutch spring really make that big of a difference? Also, I've been looking for all season tires; mainly Continental DWS and Michelin Pilot Sport A/S3. Can anyone recommend me the sizes for each? I won't be tracking this beast until I know I can handle it Oklahoma has wacky cold winters and extremely hot summers.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vandy09 Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 What's up buddy !! And welcome. I'm in okc also. In fact I thought it was going to be low 40s to day so I drove the car. Then about 8 am all the water started turning to ice. Lol. Oh well. Welcome to TS. Welcome to the shelby world. Welcome to your new addiction. There isn't a lot going on this time of year, cat wise, but when it gets nicer there is a lot. There is a great group of mainly shelby guys up in Tulsa that love to drive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vandy09 Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Oh and I rum nitto 555s. I don't drive her as much as I use to but when I do, it can be in warm, cold, wet or dry conditions. I've run these on several mustangs and really have no complaints. If she where a summer dry car I'd probably go with toyo 888s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 Alibi 2 Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Welcome to TS, good luck with the new ride. . Removing the clutch assist spring will give the pedal a more linear feel, but it will still grab high, all the 13/14's do. The 2 tires you mention seem to be the choice of those who go all-season. Size choice is the largest you can get on whatever wheel you're using. 295/35-20 gets mentioned a lot for the rear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kpl88 Posted January 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Appreciate the welcomes! I just called Discount Tire and had them order michelin pilot sport a/s 3's. fronts 265/40/19 and rear 275/35/20. Apparently 285 and 295 are on backorder. That should be good for now until i get some MPSS later on for the summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
