Looks sharp! I'm planning on the same tire for the Mustang this fall. OEM Goodyears are down to 7/32 at only 20k, did not do as well this last winter as the first, and are already getting noisy as well.

I'm planning on putting these on my wife's car for her stock summer wheels. Probably the lowest performance vehicle to ever receive them.

Have them on my Mustang !
one of the better tires I have used on Mustangs No track tire but does everything well for my type of driving.
You may find them for the lack of a better term squirmy for the first 500 to a 1000 miles.

I really like mine in 235/60r18.
Good combination of characteristics for someone looking for a sporty but not punishing tire.
this is not a hardcore UHP tire.. at least not in this size.
its more a sporty oriented grand touring tire + a little more.

Lots of traction, Comfortable ride if on the firm side, always feels controlled even on bad roads.
After I get an actual trip in I will compare the MPG loss.. which is likely 1-2mpg over the OE tires.
Doubt it loses as much as some of the all weather tires such as the CC2.

I had a set of them on my former car. I loved them. Very sporty handling and incredible traction on a small suv.

Turns out mine are the 06+ too. I didn't realize that is what I purchased. I picked the setup from Custom Offsets.

She’ll probably decide on her own that we share the same disease. “Thank…. Wait a minute … do you read that ‘oil guy’ website? I’m on to you….”

I used to have quite an audio hobby, for live music. I built a lot of PA speakers, small to mid-size, trying different materials for transportability and sound. A lot. … a certainly built them for the home, garage, kids… as well. Many were thrown away or donated or used up (or still in use) through the years. I slowed down, work got harder, stopped playing in bands. But I keep a few for company or friend’s parties. I thinned the pack when we moved 2 years ago. But then kinda needed a portable unit which could double as a small practice amp… little QSC CP-8. Instead of shipping it to my workplace I shipped it to our address. She didn’t miss a beat - I came home and she was standing there with her arms crossed and tapping her foot as I got out of the car… “and why do we need another one of these!?”
