Tire recommendations

As the Fall and Winter approaches I need to know what tires are best for non summer driving? I know that my shelby came with Michelin pilot sport cup 2 tires which are summer tires,  I was looking up pilot sport 4S tires but they are also summer tires. So what tires are best for all seasons?

Highly recommend Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ tires. They are all season tires. The widest size they make is P295's so you may have to compromise a bit with the rears.

Thank you for the recommendation. Front size of my shelby gt 350 is 295/35R19 and the back is 305/35R19. Will those P295s fit for the rear? When you say compromise are you saying they will fit but they wont be as wide?

That's what I'm saying but not sure if the rears will work. Continental makes a good all-season tire as well, see if they have a closer size but I remember they didn't for my Mustang. Another possibility is buying a set of wheels for street use, 1/2 inch narrower would hook you up with the Michelins.

So i looked up the Pilot sport A/S 3+ that comes with 285/35 R 19. I cant seem to find them in 295. As for the rear i cant find a 305 but the widest that can be found closes is 325

Get another set of wheels and have 2 sets one for summer and one for winter
