As the weather starts to cool and the goodyear F1s start to turn into rocks, I installed a pair of 305/35/20 Nitto 555Rs on the back of the Shelby. Ride quality is very nice with minimal reared sway at highway speeds. They don't hook as well as the NT05s I had on last winter but the stability is better with the 555rs. Don't get me wrong, the NT05s hook like a beast but they just sway a little more than I liked at highway speeds. The car will still blow the tires off in 2nd gear but 3rd will hook nicely. Here are a few pics of them on the car plus a few extra shots of the car.

Nice little write up, that's crazy your 3rd gear only goes to 110mph with the 4 10s.

Raceme2 still running stock fronts but looking as Michelins. 2011Gts I probably could have wound 3rd out a little more but yes the 4.10 bring the speeds down a lot!

OP, SS splitter looks sexy as hell on your car! Makes me want one but carbon fiber scares me due to possible damage, especially since I will be lowering mine soon. Looks great though!

SVT_28 I was fortunate that the previous owner installed it before me! I have kicked around maybe doing the heat extractor vent also!

I have thought about adding "svt" on mine as well...there is one svtp member that added a red svt logo on his and it looks really good.
