What the best replacement tires for the Mustang



2003 GT these days...

Seems the OEM tires only last 35,000 miles.

I'm quite happy with my Khumos on my 99 GT.

I have a subscription to Consumer Reports on-line. They list 5 types of tires:

All-season Performance all-season Ultra-performance Winter Winter performance

What are you interested in for your Mustang in CO?

35,000 out of a set of gatorbacks is better than normal.

You got 35K from a set of Goodyears? Let alone Gatorbacks?! You must drive like my grandma. I'm on my 3rd pair of Kumhos on the front of my

89, until I hit the lotto or sell it that's what I plan to keep on the front wheels.

Not enough information. Tires have more impact on vehicle performance than almost anything else on the car. Asking the question like this is like asking, "I have to fix my car, what tool should I use?" Do you drive it in the winter? Do you regularly run a road course, or just commute sedatly to Denver in heavy traffic on I-25? Is your main goal performance or longevity? Anybody who makes a recommendation without knowing this type of information is just blowing smoke. Go to the Tire Rack web site. They can help you pick the right tire according to your needs.

Nope, it's called lots of highway mileage.

I never got more than 30K-35K on a set of tires for my Mustangs, but now that my driving is almost all highway, 35K is the low end of my tires' life.

Thanks for the info ...

after a All-season tire and I do drive the Mustang in the winter unless we get lots of snow, then have a 4x4 ..

It is mostly around town driving and every so often down to Denver and in summer east and west on I-80.

Will check out the Tire Rack WEB site
