Four problems related to tire have been reported for the 1996 Ford Mustang. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The tire exploded though my back bumper and hit my intertia switch in the cars trunk turning off the gas. I was stranded 1 hour east of des moines, iowa. When I tried to report the problem to the local dealer and manufacturer they ignored me and stated the the tires were fine only the wilderness trires has a problem. I still have the tire, the tred blew off and it never did go flat. ( dot number: 479664199 tire size: ss10 ).
I ordered this car at the very beginning of model year and requested to pay for an upgrade to premium tires instead of what came on the car. Sarasota Ford said that was impossible unless I paid for 2 full sets. The original equipment, guaranteed for 45000 wore out at 13,500 miles so poorly and unevenly that I just replaced them because they scared me. Now I feel there was more to my problem and I could have had a blowout in a convertible from defective tires. The service mgr at the tire store could not believe the tires had only gone 13000 miles. I don't know if the tire info is on the original sales receipt for the car. I truly feel those tires I was forced to buy were defective. ( dot number: 0 tire size: 16 ).
Tire are dry rotten.
Tires failed. (goodyear zr).
