http://www.1010tires.com/tirereviews...e_reviews.html a Guy with an 05 shares my same opinion, i unfortuantely cant afford another set of $1000 tires or more :-( and mines an 05 stang too so im guess it was popular for ford to sell them with those tires on 20 inch rims. They really dont hold my power as well, but handling seems to be well in the rain as long as i dont floor it

they do pretty well in the rain as long as they have tread. I usually take it easy on the highway, but ive done plenty of city driving in downpours with them and never have any problems.

Right not popular for Ford to sell them maybe just the dealers that throw 20's on cars went with that tire.

Yep, +1. The dealer had Nittos put on mine along with the 20's......Just happened to put them back on the car today, after having take offs on her for the last year or so. Forgot what a difference there is with the big boys on.......

yea i agree, i got use to the comfort feel of my winter tires, now ive been diving putholes, but couldnt dive part of the wolf or husky that was laying on the road in my lane lol, that was rocky! just about an hour ago lol. I like them pretty good and I've actually been taking it easier on the highway in the rain, since my gf rides with me now alot.

I have about 5k miles on mine. So far no complaints from me. We'll see once I get them to the track.
