I had falkens on my old car and liked them. My friend also put falkens on his 04 cobra and really likes them as well.

MyKap. Good info. I know a lot of Europeans that don't drive more than an hour and then they are taking the train. It's good to know that you guys are driving that Mustang all over. I plan on driving up to the UK to visit an uncle that lives up there. Should be interesting inside that tunnel with a nice exhaust on her. Cheers.

If you mean the Eurotunnel sadly I am afraid you drive onto a train and it carries you across!
It is however the best way of crossing especially in the winter months.

My Mustang is a daily driver and also regularly gets used to run to my place in Javea, Spain and back to the UK.

IMO a good band aid until money opens up for a decent set.
I put some of those in my Charger R/T, price was a big consideration (I only had them over the summer before I traded it in). They were decent in performance, predictable in the point where they'd lose grip, they didn't squeal in complaint when pushed hard, and they rolled quieter than any other tires I had on the car. Decent wet weather performance too. I knew they were not rated to last long, and would be worthless in any amount of snow.

But they were cheap, so it's not really fair to complain about longevity compared to tires priced much higher.

In reading these posts, I noticed no one mentioned rotating the tires. Perhaps your setup has different front and rear setups. On my 2011 Mustang, I'm able (and do) rotate the tires every 10K miles. So far I have 30K on my pzeros, and still have good tread on them; at least another 10K.

I bought my Mustang used with around 13k on it. I rotated the tires shortly after purchase since I don't know if they were rotated by the previous owner. By 24k, the tread depth was shallow enough that they needed replacing. I little traction issue on a wet road sealed the deal for me.
