Great to see another 100K coyote! I just hit 117,000 miles in my 2011 GT the other day. AC condenser went out at 55,000 miles (due to highway debris rupturing and punching a hole in it) and was replaced, otherwise no issues and still going strong! Oil changed every 7,500 miles. Spark plugs, tranny fluid, and rear diff fluids changed at 100K. Original clutch still grabbing tightly. 3rd set of tires from the original pirelli pzero. Bone stock.
Miles are about 60% city, 40% highway. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/themust...e796d24b77.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/themust...9101459c3f.jpg |
Very cool! Thanks for sharing raidernixon....

Did you keep buying new sets of Pirelli's or switch to a different tire? If so, what tires and how are they?
Here are all of the tires I have had and my best guess on the mileage I got out of each tire: Original Pirellis: 9,000 miles Michelin Pilot Sport A/S (275/40/R19): 56,000 miles Bridgestone Turanza Serinity Plus A/S (275/40/R19): 49,000 miles Current Tires: Michelin Pilot Sport A/S3 (275/40/R19): 3,000 miles to date The Bridgestones were OK, but noisy, a bit less grippy and looked kind of awkward on the Brembo rims. The tread life was also slightly less. Overall both sets of Michelins have been the best by a far margin...very grippy, soft ride, and very quiet. |
I'm kind of curious why you ever bought all seasons living in the DFW? I'm pretty hard on my Pirellis (but I've never done a burnout) and have 12k miles on mine. I should probably take a look at the tread on them.
How did the 275's do on the Brembo wheels? Do you have any pictures of the car/wheels with those tires? Wondering about rubbing or rock chip slinging with such a wide tire. The Brembo wheels already have an offset that puts them pretty close to the edge of the fenders |

100,000 Mile Coyote Owner Review
So I'm now at 103,000 miles on my Coyote too, and thought I'd repost the 100,000 mile review I just posted on my blog:
Wow. It’s been just short of 5 years since I bought my first Ford Mustang, a car I’d been dreaming about for 15 years. I wrote about that day, and did a 60,000 mile review in 2014. Since then, Lucy has definitely gone through some stuff, but she’s continued to be a reliable, fun daily driver, as well as a backroads weekend driving adventure car all-in-one for me. As I look back at that 60,000 mile review, the Pros and Cons of it still hold true but here’s some updates/additional thoughts:
As far as maintenance is concerned, here’s what I’ve done, maintenance-wise, beyond normal oil changes/tire rotations:
In fact, I just got back from a 2,800 mile road trip adventure with some buddies from Wisconsin; we met in eastern Tennessee to drive Tail of the Dragon and other amazing roads in TN and North Carolina together. The car performed flawlessly throughout the trip and that only made me love it more. http://www.kylerohde.com/wp-content/...5-768x1024.jpg I love this car for all the reasons I always have, but even more now because it’s proven to be a car a normal person can own and drive every day, and not break the bank. The only way I’m ever getting rid of this car is if I get another Mustang to replace her with! |
Great info Kyle, thanks for adding to this thread. Pretty similar experiences, with us both biting the bullet for new hoods and running the cars year round with a set of snow tires for the bad months. Looks like with have the state of MO covered. I need to do my 100K spark plug change but am holding out till fall with some cooler weather to get caught up on my maintenance.

Full time BLizzaks, huh? Interesting.

How did the 275's do on the Brembo wheels? Do you have any pictures of the car/wheels with those tires? Wondering about rubbing or rock chip slinging with such a wide tire. The Brembo wheels already have an offset that puts them pretty close to the edge of the fenders I certainly did not have the same experience with my Pirellis. I never drove aggressively with them and they wore out pretty quickly. Whenever temps below 40 to 50 degrees hit, which does happen in Texas more often in the winter than not, they began to really suck as well (felt like driving on rock solid tires with little grip and no flex). Besides those reasons, I primarily went with A/S for the tread life. 275's did great on the brembo wheels. No rubbing whatsoever. The tires are still about a few mm inside the wheel well, so no issue with debris slinging. Here are a few pics of my 11' GT with the 275 setup (also shown on the photo of my original post) https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/themust...227c7129b1.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/themust...6da0b641f6.jpg I recently retired the Black 11' to weekend warrior status. We now have a 16' Competition Orange GT PP that is a daily driver. It has the Pirellis on it, and in comparison to the 275 A/S Michelin currently on my 11', the Pirellis are nowhere near as nice. Once these Pirellis are dead, we will be going with a squared 275 setup with Michelin Pilot Sport A/S3's. https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/themust...477eb07f72.jpg |

^ Dean... curious, how did/do you "drive" your car?
Mainly street driven? track? strip? If on street, redlined often? never? babied? etc... Was just curious as that would play a big part in longevity and reliability. No track or strip. Not really babied at all, several times a day I give it some pretty hard pulls to near redline, down shifts to fourth at highway speeds if someone decides they want to play a bit, I live out in a fairly rural area where I can run it pretty hard at the tail end of my commute. But for sure, I do a ton of highway mikes that are easy on the car all in all. |

Figured I'd give a quick update as I just passsed 150K miles this week. Cliff's Notes: all good and still no major repairs to date.
Love to hear from some others! https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/themust...996e7eef7e.jpg |
Thanks for the update. My Coyote just rolled 31k so I have a lot of life left in it.

Love to hear from some others! https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/themust...996e7eef7e.jpg Overall though, I love it still. Planning on buying a new family friendly vehicle this summer and retiring the Stang to weekends and nice days, at least until it starts having more significant problems since it's probably only worth 7 or 8k. |

Nice!! I wasn't sure anybody was further than me but I hit 145k last night. Third set of brakes. Second set of dampers. Original hoses and belt still, as the dealer keeps telling me they're fine. Original clutch still. Zero engine or transmission issues, beyond the engine burning a bit of oil. A/C has worked perfect but did have to replace the Evap core for $2,000. Couple blend door motors burned out. Few interior issues - driver seat lumbar support is dead after replacing the seat track motor once already, passenger seat motor died too so I swapped it out for a manual one. SiriusXM antenna died years ago.

Thanks for the update Dean, and congratulation on the 150K mark. My '06 is just a tick shy 100K now with nothing needed other than scheduled maintenance, fluids, filters, oil, etc. It just told me that I'm due for some front ball joints as the left one gave me that all-knowing pop when backing the other day. I think I'll keep 'er though. :)
BTW, I have a valve seal that is letting some oil leak back from time to time. Been getting that little puff of smoke from the left side for about 5,000 miles. But, that's OK. She's old enough to smoke if she wants. |
