These need to be warmed up before they have any traction. Cool weather they are bad. Wet weather they are scary. Straight line braking, very good. Handling is "squirmy"... you feel the sidewall move giving an uneasy feeling. Ride comfort is decent. Wear was surprisingly good. the rears are almost gone at 15k miles, and the fronts are still at 60%.

Fitment comes from each tire's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

What Ford Mustang gt drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
I only run them on my mustang as A run around the work well would use them anytime very impressed with them .
The dry grip is amazing, when they are warm from a stand still to full throttle it is very hard to lose traction. Wet grip is more then I can ask for. I can drive sporty in the rain and no loss of grip. I have almost driven 70.000km on the tires now. My previous tires were Pirelli P Zero Nero which came with the car and compared to the Michelin it is literally a night and day difference.
No real issues with these tires except that rear tires worn to indicators in less than 6000 miles! Surprised me ! Worn in the middle due to over inflation from the tire fitting company I used, set the tires to 36 psi cold even though the sticker says 32! I left the tires at 36 thinking they knew what pressure works best for said tire on said vehicle but obviously not! Trying another brand now and will make sure different tire company sets to 32.
I used 255/40R19 front and 285/40R19 rear, both on 9" rim width. They perform well and handle aquaplaning really good.
Ford Mustang GT 255 40 19.
The tires are a budget option but they give a good grip on dry roads even in lower temperatures. I have not lose any grip so far besides when I push the car. The only problem is the braking in wet conditions, you need to be extra careful. For the price and city conditions is a great choice but not for track or 100% highway driving on no speed limit highways.

I had these tires replacing some ovation vi 388, the have far far bettee handling dry and wet, no complain except the wear barely after 5,000 miles tires are below 50% life, not worth at all after the cost.
my 2016 mustang gt came with Pirelli pzero nero tires. i'm the one guy on the mustang forums that likes these tires, however during the post-pandemic supply chain issues i could not find them. so i bought the Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 because they were the only "good" tire i could find. i found the pirelli and the michelin equal in everything except: dry road michelin are better, wear michelin are lasting me longer. i did get 0.4mpg more on the pirelli.
im in south texas so weather is hot. i have a 1 hour commute to work (24mi highway, 20mi city). road are generally good. im likely to get the michelin again as they have already lasted me 40% more than the pirelli and are still good.

These tires perform best when you can get them hot. Under 60 degrees (F) they are noticeably slicker, I only run these tires in the late spring and summer. These tires have a fairly rigid sidewall so don't expect them to ride like a grand touring tire. The amount of feedback in the tire is pretty good. I found these tires like to pull the car into the ruts of the road. I get the tires spinning pretty often at intersections and in parking lots and so far haven't had any excess wear or chunking issues. You can get away with the speed limit in light rain, but in moderate and heavy rain you will be going at least 5-10 mph under the posted speed. Expect the rear end to slide out often and expect fairly long stopping distances in the wet.
Update after almost a year:
it's a winter tire in the first place. Snow traction, braking, cold wet roads, sludge, the tire performs fine.
Delayed steering response has indeed been noticeable.
As soon the outside temperature is above 10-15°C then the car becomes unstable above 80km/h. This was a little disappointing but since I have another set of rims with summer tires I will keep using them in the winter.
They were also fitted on a small Hyundai rental car and I would say that the performance was acceptable in summer conditions.
For a small car they are fine. Heavy and high performance I rather use them in winter only.
