Goodyear Assurance Triple-tread tires (really love these in the snow/wet, great daily tires!)
Reviews of spare parts for Ford
The Sumitomo HTRs are pretty good. Either the A/S P02 or the Z III. The Z IIIs are a bit sportier, and the P02s are solid all seasons with a 500 treadwear rating and a W speed rating. They also grip impressively well for a set of fairly cheap all seasons.
Mobil 1 of varying weights for all of my cars. Been using it for years and it's served me well.
I've got the green filter. It's the same filter, just a different color. I like it, it adds just a little bit of intake/turbo noise. I run mine with the airbox lid on.
I had X-ice Xi3s on the Fiesta ST I owned for just over 2 years, and I actually liked driving on them more than the stock Bridgestone Potenza RE50A. Obviously not as much grip in drier weather, but for anything below 40 degrees or so, and certainly any snow, they were fantastic, and a lot easier to live with (much quieter; much more compliant, although part of that was also being on a smaller winter wheel).
But its a Ford truck/suv and the alternators ALWAYS go bad on them. Word to the wise, buy an AC Delco replacement or Ford OEM, anything else will just die again-they always do.
The continental tires ride real quite for their size.
We used to use the P Zero Nero as they came on our mustang but they just didn't have the traction we wanted...We replaced them with RIKEN RIKEN RAPTOR ZR tires @ about $100 each (raw tire)
The Riken handle better on blacktop, although it's no super sticky tire but the front end doesn't plow near as bad.
Filter out of a 91 Mustang with the 2.3 Lima. Filter was a Fram that was about half as long as it should have been, and it was filled with those tar/sludge globs. They were even coming up on the dipstick.
I had the Ventus V12 Evos on my Focus ST, and I didn't like them.
