2015 GT … feels like a flat tire but don’t

So I just bought my 2015 GT like a month ago. I was driving on the freeway this morning and I felt like I got a flat tire. Checked my gauges. Everything look fine. Still pulled off the freeway looked at everything looked. OK… Drove home still a little shaky in the front end… Just went to go to work tonight and it feels like I’m totally driving on a flat tire consistently going over a bunch of little speed bumps …. No noise just feel it. Especially when I’m going over 40. Slower speeds I couldn’t tell. Any idea! I’m going to get it in the shop tomorrow, but everything’s closed tonight and considering I just bought it….. I'm stressing out….
just would like to know what I’m up against here… boo!

BINGO!! Sure happens to many with old or cheap tires.
jennifer72 do you have old tires or cheap ones?? Make sure you take your Mustang to a trusted shop or they will suggest every suspension part in the book. An endless money expenditure that is totally unnecessary. No offense but some of these so-so shops see a female come in with an 'unknown' problem and the money lights $$$ start flashing. Failed belts are often unseen which makes it really tough to identify. IF your tires are due for replacement, start there and get a quality set. You get what you pay for with rubber.

Yes! ****ty tires!

I just took it into the Ford dealership… My advisor that checked me I said the brand of tires is a ****ty brand so that may possibly be the Culprit hopefully… I can deal with a problem like that lol I was doing a freeway interchange so I was up to about 90 (I live in Arizona where everybody drives like it’s the Audubon) and it literally felt like I all of a sudden got a flat… It was the weirdest feeling

That's good to hear that your Ford dealership was steering you in the right direction (pun intended). Let us know what you buy.
If you can financially swing 'top of the line' rubber, I will recommend the Michelin Pilot Sport all season and the Goodyear Exhilarate all season. Both are PREMIUM performance tires that I have personal experience with. If you need to spend somewhat less, both of those brands offer quality 'mid-grade' models as well. Another quality tire can still be found with the BFG G-Force all season. I've had 3 sets of those on my Trans Am for many years and they have taken me all over the country safely. Tire size was the reason I went with them as the others were not available. All 3 MADE IN USA which is always important, to me anyway. Good luck!!

Another alternative would be Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 tires... These are also a premium performance tire which is ranked right up there along with Michelin and Continental, but nearly at half the price....
I've been running the Firehawk/Indy 500's on my 2006 GT for nearly 5 years and couldn't be happier with their performance and reliability...

Oh boy! Thanks for asking. It was a 10 day ordeal because I don’t know if you’ve heard like 15,000 dealerships nationwide that their computer system hacked and unfortunately, I became victim to that because nobody knew what to do without their computer… They finally looked at it and there’s a little bubble in the tire. New tire time!!!!! so I just got my car back a couple days ago and the beginning of next week I’m gonna start looking for some tires🤘
