I have a vibration at 60+ mph with the stock tires. Been road force balanced twice and little improvement. 17K miles on them, the tread looks good, but the vibration isn't major, but bothers me. Plus they seem to be getting louder and i'm noticing traction is weakening too. Time to make a change.

I love them! They probably aren't the best handling tires, I can feel them flex when cornering. I don't care about that though. To me the Mustang is a muscle car and that's the way I drive it. They are super quiet and hook up great, even in the rain. They are way better than the stock Pirellis were in that respect IMO. No regrets here.

The stock Pirellis seem to work fine, at least for me, so if the Conti's are at least equal, I should be happy with them.

A tire chain here as a 30 day trial on tires, so that's a good deal if I don't like them.
