Brand new four month old car, 11,800 miles on the thing, took delivery with 550 miles on it...the selling dealer in OKhad some take off brembo package 19" whelks swapped onto the car, with some EPTYRES.COM horrific not legal in the United states made in Indonesia junk...they developed a nasty vibration at 10,000 miles, which was getting worse by the day, and beginning to occur at lower speeds every time I drove the car...so, before something happened...BF GOODRICH G FORCE SPORT COMP 2 seemingly better - so far.

should have told the dealership to get you proper tires to start with. I don't mean that in a **** sort of way just sayin. Glad you have some good stuff on there now

At least you got some nice wheels out of the swap. They look great on red, too. Not so sure I have seen a color the track pack wheels do not look good on though.

Well, the story was this...dealer in OK had sold a Mustang with the wheels that now sit on my car...customer wanted aftermarket wheels for that car, which left the set of 19" wheels available for use on some other car. My car had the base/premium with no additional options GT 18" wheels...that dealer thought they where ugly, so they swapped these wheels onto my car. TX dealer traded an F150 for my red Mustang. Tires where a mystery from day one, but seemed to be decent enough, so I just went with it. When the shake began, I called that dealer in OK - they told me that the car which originally had my wheels (which was new) already had the off brand tires on it - they say delivered from the factory that way. Not true, but what can I do? Is it worth chasing this one? Probably not. Ultimately, are the tires the correct size? Yes. Do they present any real hazard? Possibly, but Probably not. Did you (me) accept the car and take delivery as it was without any additional demands? (yes) It's just one of those bad deals...oh well.

You could have checked the rims to see if they had marks or rubber where the weights were removed. With new tires mounted, that might not be a way to know now.
