Not on either of my Mustangs but have used them on several other vehicles. I currently have them on my wife's mini-van (who cares!) and my twin-turbo '87 IROC-Z. For the price, they are excellent tires.

I have them on my 05 GT right now. 275/40/18's in the back and 245/40/18's in the front. I've been very happy with mine so far. I've put 6-7k on them and they are wearing nicely. I consider grip to be very good but I don't autocross mine, just garden variety backroads fun. Wet weather traction has been adequate but not spectacular. I would recommend them in heart beat, especially if you're on a budget.

Same here, bought 3 sets of these on my 99 and loved them. Great tires and they are priced very nicely as well. Grip was great in the rain and they lasted much longer than the stock set the car came with originally.
