Well it's 30k plus on the OEM Goodyears. So I've been told it's time
for new rubber. I'm looking at Dunlop SP Sport 9000. THhy seem
reasonably priced and I have read good things about them. I'm looking
for good year round performance and not alot of noise. Anyone have any
other suggestins or experience with Dunlop?

Thanks!

Just put on a set of Fuzion ZRI tires made by Bridgestone though the
name is not on the tire. 245/45/R17 95W rated tires good for like
180+ mph, good traction, good in the wet, overall about 100% better
than the Goodyears. They cost me about $600 and change for the set of
4 with road hazard insurance.

Joe, Best all around tire I've used so far is the BFG Comp-TA
(rebadged G-Force?) KDWs. Problem? Expensive!

A set of Dunlop SP5000s on my '89 were very close and there is a newer
design out that's had a pretty good review at tirerack.com. Nitto
NT555s have been a staple around here and are good, but not great. I
recently put some Kumho ECSTA 711s on the '89. They're pretty good,
except can be noisy on some pavement. All tires I've mentioned are 245
45-17s.

Yup. When tragedy struck I put Kumho Ecsta RSX's on the Cobra cause
Sears auto center was the only place open that had my size. Been so
impressed they're now on all four corners.

Same on my cobra. Much more quiet than the oem's, and I no longer have
the car pull to the right.

The '98 cobra convertible I just bought has Toyo proxes fz4's on it and I'm
not real impressed with them. It seems real easy to get them break loose on
a wet road. So I wouldn't recommend getting them.

But have you driven this same car with different tires in the wet ? It
doesn't take much to slide a mustang around in the rain no matter what
tires.

alittle better in the rain but terrible in the snow. lol
