Looks like you need to spend money on new rubbers.

Is it any coincidence that those appear to be the back tires...?

Yeah, it's a Ford defect. Rear tires seem to wear out faster than the fronts.

yeah but he prob rotates his tires. not everyone has a staggered stance. there is no way to wear out the inside of the tire on the rear end of a mustang. there are no camber adjustments. which would cause inside wear

would that ford defect involve forcing the owner to spin the back tires more than the front

I would have changed them a long time ago.

And that wear through looks like you locked up the brakes.

this is why I spin the front tires instead of the rear to counteract this reaction.

i have never locked up the brakes, and that spot continues a long way around the tire, for some reason it seems like the left wheel pulls harder, its alot easier to spin if makin a left turn

but yea i got a couple used ones thrown on there now for 10 bucks a pop

they only 60r 16 215s but as soon as i left the tire shop i let em rip and then later on i took off at idle andi managed to take off burning out all the way through second, they get alot less grip then the old self made slicks ha in fact it seemed so wild i had to turn around go back and check it out lol
