What preventative maintenance should I do on my 2017 GT350's first service?

A fair number of cars have bespoke tire sizes, and the GT350 and GT350R started out that way.

The R came with 305/30x19 fronts on 11" CF rims, and 315/30x19 rears on 11.5" CF rims. The non-R came with 295/35x19 fronts on 10.5" aluminum rims, and 305/35x19 rears on 11" aluminum rims.

I remember reading that the Mach 1 rims are the same width as non-R GT350 rims front and rear but they come with GT350R-spec MPSC2 tires on them. Might be wrong, though.

There isn't a wide range of tire type or manufacturer alternatives for either pair of sizes.
You're partially correct, the Mach 1 with handling pack came with cup 2 tires, the non HP Mach's came with PS4S. The Mach 1's with HP came with the 305/30/19 front and 315/30/19 rears. Someone actually tagged me the other day cause I had the exact specs on the front and rear rims but I don't recall what they were

That's what I thought also my friend.
When I picked the car up from the dealer, they asked if I wanted the Extended Warranty?
I replied, "No, this will not be a daily driver, will not see rain, and will probably only get 2000 - 3000 mile per year."
I currently have 53,000+ miles on it and it does not see rain, and is not a daily driver.
A drive to a store 5 miles away is usually a 75+ mile drive somehow...!
Either way.... you will love it.
No doubt it is a blast to drive.

I see you have a Cayman. My other sports car is an '07 GT3. So similar to the 350 with the high revs and amazing sound, but the GT350 is easier around town. It's fun having both and I love them

One of the “tells” that this is a truly special machine…caused Porsche and BMW fans like you / me to own a Mustang! As someone who hasn’t owned one since my 03 Mach 1, it speaks volumes that this car shares a stable with cars like a GT3/4…amazing progress on Ford’s part, this thing is an instant legend in my eyes.
