All Season tires for a Dark Horse with Handling Package

[skeeter1949]

I have a 2025 dark horse with the Handling package. This puts a 305/30ZR/19 (F), and 315/30ZR/19(R) on the car, as it will be spending time in the Chicage are in the Novenber/December time period. I need to put all season tires on it, but I don't need dedicated winter tires on the car. I have just discovered that no tire manufacturer(that I, my local Ford service dept., or Discount tire) makes an all season radial in these sizes. When I bought the car I never considered, or even thought about an issue like this, or I don't think I would have gotten a DH with the handling package...yeah, I would have as this Vehicle is beautiful...Blue Ember Mica. I think, what I am in need of is suggestions on a solution..if thats possible. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

A second set of wheels .. maybe a set of non-hp wheels or some other aftermarket wheel and throw all seasons on them.

20 inch wheels will put you in the range of several good all season tires.

... if you want wide... you could go narrower 19 inch as well.

Maybe a Pilot Sport All Season 4 ZP if you can't do a 2nd wheel set. 325/30r19 in the back and 285/30or35r19 in the front should work.

Go with the GT PP wheels and Michelin performance all seasons. . Expensive but better be to be safe

Will the narrower, non-handling pack DH 19-inch wheels fit a DH with handling pack? If so, there are several brands of high-performance all-season tires in the factory DH no-handling pack sizes.

Yes they will... all Mustang wheels will fit (19" or larger), as well as any aftermarket wheels in the proper size/offset.

Maybe a Pilot Sport All Season 4 if you can't do a 2nd wheel set. 325/30r19 in the back and 285/30or35r19 in the front should work.

Only the 285 width available in the standard tire, no 325 width... unless you want run-flat tires.

@skeeter1949 Conventional wisdom for driving in light snow, slush and the like is to run narrower tires than what a max performance summer tire set would be. The reasoning being the narrower tire/foot print will bite down through the snow and slush to the pavement/ground more effectively.

If it were me; I'd put a square 19 x 10 wheel set up on the DH with 285/35R/19 all season tires on them. 255s or 275s would likely do just fine too.

Continentals, Michelins, or Pirellis all make great AS tires. I'd shop and buy the most affordable of the 3. Good luck with whatever you go with!

Good catch, yes, thanks.

Michelin has all season tires in your size. Ford puts them on the Performance School Darkhorse Mustang.

Those are PS4 summer tires that they are using.

I bought a second set of PP rims on 1" spacers with all season pzeros UHPs on them. I was impressed with their performance last winter. Once they drop salt on the road here in MD I park the car until it has been thoroughly washed off the road.

I would buy a beater car for the trip but that’s just me.

I have a 24 Dark Horse with the handling pkg.
I ended up putting continental extreme contact DWS 06 plus on factory rims size 285/35/19 Front and rear for temperatures below 45 degrees. For warmer temperatures i bought a set of GTD replica wheels and use size 325/30/19 Front and 355/30/19 rear Michelin pilot sport 4s. I think both sets of tires are the best for my needs. I never drive this car in snow.

 

[Junkyard Dog]

size 325/30/19 Front and 355/30/19 rear Michelin pilot sport 4s.

Wow, those fit?
