Tires for a PP Mustang GT

[Primalzer]

Dad is going to be replacing the OEM Goodyear Eagle Supercars that are currently on his 2013 PP Mustang GT. What's a good summer DD? He lives down in Florida so definitely doesn't have to worry about bullshit cold or snow. Good treadwear, decently priced, and road noise would probably be the 3 biggest factors. He seemed to like the Supercars that were originally on it, and they are right around the price-range he was looking at Tirerack. So what's the good replacement tires to get?

(just a note, yes his PP car came with Supercars because it's a convertible, and apparently the convertible PP cars came with the Goodyears instead of the Pirelli's)

This was my choice as I've been liking what Continental has been doing...

I'd go with the DW's or Bridgestone S-04's in that size. Since he lives in Florida, go with a Max Performance tire.

I'm not trying to argue, but I can just hear him question why those tires are $100 per tire more than the BFG Sport Comps. Are they that good? I see the Pilot's are 30K mile whereas the BFG's are 20K as well

Continental Extreme Contact DW is the perfect tire for a sporty daily driver. The sidewall is a little softer, so they ride comfortably and they hook pretty good from a dead stop or low speed roll. They are quiet and excellent in the rain.

I have about 10,000 miles on mine with about 40 1/4 mile passes, 4 autocross events, and 2 trips to the tail of the dragon. Even with all of that abuse, they have about 50% tread life left on them. Performance hasn't degraded much either.

They aren't quite as responsive as something like a Michelin PSS or even the BFG sport comp 2, because of the softer sidewall. The trade off though is how quiet and comfortable the Continentals are in comparison.
