Bridgestone Makes a good tire I have no doubt that their quality has no exceptions for a mustang

though for my 15 x 7 winter rims I have Goodyear aquatreds that perform terrifically in snow and wet. and for my 17 x 8 summer rims I use Kuhmos really hard to break traction on a dry day, still hard to break traction on a wet day, sticky tires grip right to the ground ncie tred life (for both)

I have Dulop's on mine. Haven't had any traction issues yet.
But it is a 17" rim...

you mean you would have to reorder a new tire.
well hell anyway you put it you're gonna have to wait a bit to get another tire.

Someone slashed my tires took 4 days before i could get tires for the rims and they were goodyears.
would have been quicker to go on tirerack and ordered them, they ship 1 day, but then you have to get em mounted and balanced :\

I dunno.

Default Free Tires

Hi again

I love my ragtop just like my old Austin Healey Mark 4 3000 in the 60's but I am cought in a dilemma, a good kind. You see the dealer I bought my car from "Heritage Ford Modesto" gives free tires and lube, oil and filter for "LIFE". My ragtop has 16 inch nice rims but I would love the better High End Goodrich TA Radials rated for 180mph I have on my 351/69. I have Goodyear M+S P225/55R 16 Eagle LS on the Ragtop. Beggers can't be choosers Has anyone had any experience Swapping in this situation.
