Speaking to a Michelin Consumer Care Department official, Mustang6G member rcb020 was informed that the Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires of the 2016 Shelby GT350 Mustang are scheduled to hit the market on June 15. What about projected price?
"The 305/35ZR19 size is scheduled to be introduced on June 15, 2015," declared the official, without mentioning a thing about the price. Considering that a Michelin Pilot Super Sport 295/35ZR19 tire costs $423, Shelby rubber should cost almost $500 a pop.

According to Ford, "the custom tires are designed to deliver maximum grip on the road or at the track."
On the other hand, the more hardcore GT350R is going to wear Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires with construction and compound unique to the R-ified model. In GT350-related news, Ford Performance head Dave Pericak declared in an interview last month: "we are going through the final certification stages [of the 5.2-liter Voodoo V8] and we’re probably 2 to 3 months away from sharing that information with everybody."Furthermore, an Avalanche Gray 2016 Shelby GT350 Mustang has been spotted this weekend at the Texas World Speedway for the “Final Roundup” event hosted by the Track Guys.
