Manufacturer selected oem tires, Goodyear Eagle, unsafe on wet/damp surfaces. Tires would spin upon starting away from stop no matter how gently/slowly you tried to drive away. Car would fishtail and lose traction (especially rear (drive) wheels) on moderate corners at moderate speeds while accelerating or not. Tires replace at 15,000 miles with plenty of life left on them due to safety concerns. Replaced with Goodyear aquatred III's. much better handling with new tires.

While the car was being driven on a highway, the tire suddenly shredded and came off the rim at a 45 degree angle. When the car was brought to the dealer the next morning, the salesman told my husband that this was the third time that he knew of that tire suddenly coming apart. While the car was at the dealership another Mustang, with only 500 miles, experienced the same thing, after noticing a bubble in the tire. While pulling off the roadway, at less than 5mph, his tire disintegrated.( dot number: ? tire size: P225/55R16 )
