Ford parts reviews

I put brake pads on my father-in-laws Ford Taurus and put a sticker as such on the rear bumper.

I've got Altimax Arctics for both the Focus and BRZ. The Fit uses all-seasons all-season and does OK. I think the X-Ice 2's I had before the Generals had the edge on actual ice but both tires are excellent in the snow.

The All Weather Nokia tires are awesome. I bought them for a Ford Fusion as I wanted something for winter but didn't want to do the swapping of two sets of tires and rims, and those worked great for the 4 years I drove the Fusion in Edmonton. They handled great in winter and held up in summer.

I had Pirelli tires on my car when I first bought it.. Some new all weather performance tires and let’s just say it was quite scary if there was even a little water on the road. I bought Michelin Pilot Super Sport A/S tires and they have been absolutely fantastic. Rain, shine, or snow the grip levels are very high, blow Pirelli out of the water. There have been instances in the snow when I feel the Michelin tires have saved my life. With the Pirellis, I would not even consider taking the car out in the snow. I drive a Mustang GT.

BFG AT K02 Just put my second set on my F150 about 7K miles ago. I got 56K trouble free miles out of the first set which is great in my book. The key is to balance/rotate at the recommended intervals.

I have a set, they are pretty good. for a 320 TW tire, the grip is awesome, and should last a lot longer than the OEM Pirellis. These tires are much better at the track (turning) not so much at the quarter.

There are more choices now for aftermarket pads for the RS. The RS Brembo calipers use a distinct pad shape that isn't common. A lot of guys use Mountune, or EBC. Race Tech, the US Brembo Distributor, has TS20 (track/street) front and rear pads that have better performance and less dust that the stock pads.

I'm coming up on 20k with my original 20in pirellis. The original back set is pretty much done.

In 2010, our shop purchased a brand new Ranger 2.3 and I fitted brand new studded General Altimax Arctic, which were broken in before the first snowstorm. When we had our first snowstorm (heavy, wet snow), I took it out for some errands to see how it would do; it was absolute trash. Driving a straight line was impossible.

My uppers were trashed on my ranger but my lowers weren’t far behind. A ford ball joint can’t hang with the weather.
