yeah i have had very mixed opinions from people i know about the whole thing alot of people feel the dealership should be responsible, and alot do not. I can see both sides of the arguement really i just figured it didnt hurt to ask. If they say no they say no but it was worth a try if it can get you out of an unexpected expense of 4 new tires.
Hopefully i will just get all new rims and tires ordered friday and forget that it ever happened until winter when i need my snow wheels lol

ive never been much of a fan of goodyear from my personal experience with them however all of my experience would have not really been with a performance goodyear tire... I used BF Goodrich KDW2s on my last stang and was really happy with them.

Yeah, but the BFG's wear so quick! Especially the KDW's. On the otherhand, my '70 Olds Cutlass 442 had BFG radial T/A's and they were awesome, with the raised white letters!

I'll give you that, they did wear fast but I only had them on the car for the nice weather so i guess it helped them last lol

I really like these rims, I'm looking at 19"s what do you guys think? they are the same design as the new GT premium wheels i just like them better on the previous model

Those ARE nice, but the thought of keeping them clean makes my back hurt.

rims

They look like 2011 or 12 rims chromed...
I wax my chrome rims with rim wax...they are easy to maintain...then again I wash the car nearly every day...

That's cool. My DD is a 2002 Toyota Avalon v-6. Cheaper than taking the 'Stang out of the garage...

So i purchased 2 new tires for the back nothing all that great but i didnt wanna blow money on good tires for rims i dont want to keep, i get home from having the tires mounted and balanced and what do you know the same wheel is going flat, only had about 15 psi in it, just my luck! I took it back the next day, luckily it was just a bad valve stem and have had no problems since lol
