Bouncing Tyres
Hello there.
I have an 2006 Gt.The problem is that when the mustang is standing still for a day or 2 and then i drive it,it feels bouncy. When I drive down roads (usually freshly repaved) I notice it the most.After driving it for 20 minutes or more its good.I have 4 new Pirelli P7 235/55/17.Am i the only one with this problem??? Stock 2006 Gt 25.500 miles on it.

Some tires develop a flat spot from sitting and cooling off. Sounds like your problem/issue. The driving and warming of the tire smooths them out. The reason for the feeling it more on fresh roads is because they have no other bumps that you would feel, thus masking the tire flat spot issue. Not much you can do except different tires and I believe you would have to go to tires that would have a harder tread compound and higher wear factor.

A Man Just Needs Some....
Certain tire compounds just do this regardless of the climate. I've noticed that the better handling tires are usually the ones that do this but not always. I would just try another brand next time. Just know that it is nothing to really be alarmed about.
