Default New Mustang buyers buy the tire warranty it is worth the 400 dollars.

Today another tire was replaced for free. The bill was 200 dollars plus. This is my second one. Both had nails. Both a course cannot be patched. You cannot patch the stock Pirelli tire.Another thing you may not know is that regardless if you changed the tires the warranty will stay with you for five years. Exception is if you buy a bigger tire. Since I have been stock it hasworked for me. My warranty has paid for itself and I have a new rear tire which loves to spin like a Nascar sticker tire. New rubber you do feel a difference. Something off the subject today in Charleston, South Carolina it was cool and the car absolutely loved it. It's amazing how much more power you get in the cold weather. Good day folks.

The factory tires (235/50/18 BFG KDWS) are $136 (Tire Rack)each, on sale now for $100. Even after shipping,mounting,balance I`d have to ruin 3 tires to equal $400. I`ll take my chances. JMO

I paid $79.00 & $14.00 shipping 18" BFG KDWS a few weeks ago at the Tirerack.I just checked they are still on sale. Thank You Ford for using a reasonably priced tire. My 88 GT ran on Eagle GT's & the were very pricy. I may buy some just to have arround, any storage tips for keeping tires?

Uhhhh, you can get a pirelli for our car for under $100 tire & $20eash MAX on mount & balance. Unless the nail was in the sidewall, you can plug/patch about any tire on the market. Glad your getting something out of your $400 investment, personally I would take a chance.
