I put pilot sport 4s on my 2014 GT and love them. I stayed away from the run flats and they provide great feedback.
Reviews of spare parts for Ford Mustang
I just did exactly what you're doing -- exact same tires -- and found the Continental every bit as good as the Michelin, so I went with Continental, only in 255s in my case. Anyway, I'm really happy with my Continentals and glad I made that choice. Considering the stiffer ride that comes with wider tires the 18 Continentals proved a good choice. The handling is way better; love it.
I LOVE the Indy 500’s. They grip the road extremely well even in rain. It’s the only tire I put on my Mustang, past and present.
I have had a few cars with continental extreme contacts and loved them. I have a 23 Mach 1 that came with Pilot 4S tires, they are simply amazing. They grip the road like glue and there is zero chatter when cornering hard. I would definitely go with the 4S.
After I swapped to a K&N drop-in filter and a lighter cat-back exhaust (the one I had was lighter than the stock), I was getting around 22-24 MPG with my EcoBoost.
I use a Group 27 battery in my Mustang and have found Bosch to work very well for me.
+1 for Michelin Pilot Sport 4s. Had the Cup 2’s on my PP2 (305 front and rear), they lasted 7,500 miles, lots of grip but no grip when cold or damp. Switched to PS4’s currently with 21,000 miles, and probably another ~10,000 left in them. Much better all weather performance, and they had ~90% of the grip of the Cup 2’s. Also added benefit of a slightly softer ride due to a softer sidewall.
On a side note, if anyone really wants to see what their oil change interval should be, just get an actual oil sample analysis done. Per the lab reports, I can get 8k miles on quality synthetics and still have a good safe margin for oil life.
My Mustang came from the factory with P-Zero summer tires and I too can confirm that they are pretty "brittle" and lacking in grip until you get a lot of heat into them.
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.
