The tires looked like an extra soft summer only compound, designed for grip? So are you saying those tires are booty?
lastly-- If you can afford a 55K dollar powerful monster like the Gt500, then seriously what is a set of tires at that point?
I have never walked out of a dealership because of the OEM tires.. LOL.. Something that is a normal replaceable/wearable item..
What is next...(potential buyer)"I don't like the air filter,, no thanks".. (salesman) "sir, you can put an AC/Delco or FRAM filter in if you want. They are 11 bucks at autozone".. (potential buyer) "No thanks, I will keep shopping, this car isn't for me".. lol

the stock tires on the 2011 gt500 are a bit painful to run with if your looking for good grip.
if you opt for the svt performance package... you get the goodyear supercar g2's...
those are a dream. (very similar to the p-zero's)
