Cooper Tires

I put these on my 2024 Ford Maverick....Love them! Great look and feel, very grippy even on wet roads. Recently had a blowout due to me getting too close to a jersey wall (my fault no biggie).  Took a chunk out of the sidewall. The tire ran flat with only the remaining sidewall between the rim and the asphalt for a good 100' then gravel briefly.  The quality and thickness was evident in how quiet, controlled, and responsive the tire was till I was able to pull over; with no damage to the rim due to driving on it.

Pros: very grippy on roads
Cons: blowout due to accident

NGK Spark plug

Rating 4.0

Your misfire could be bad plugs, from looking at these pictures your plug gaps look massive. NGKs are good and motorcraft is also good and I wanna say cheaper from RockAuto.

Pros: good plugs, cheaper
Cons: plug gaps massive

I ended up going down the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S route, although I put it off quite a bit longer than I had initially planned. I also ended up going with a 20 mm wider section than factory, for a 255/45-18 square setup. I spent the past Sunday bombing up and down some North Bay back roads, and now feel somewhat qualified to give an opinion. My thoughts are as follows: Overall, it's a pretty night-and-day difference. I didn't think the switch would be as immediately noticeable to a relative casual such as myself, but it absolutely is. It's improved flaws I assumed were intrinsic to the car, and didn't think could be resolved solely with tires; at least not to this extent. Some specifics include: Steering feel has greatly improved, loading up in the turns when it really didn't before. Steering remains relatively light overall, but now you can at least feel what the front end is doing in a corner. On-center feedback is similar, or maybe slightly worse than before, but overall I'd say it's more than a fair trade. There's so much more grip than before, especially noticeable up front. I've yet to get this car to understeer with these new tires on them. As I allude to in this post from last year, when I was on the old tires, I was consistently battling with the car pushing when driven hard. That's pretty much gone, and I'm not sure if the limits of the Michelins will be found by me; at least not on the street. Axle-hop is an issue I previously had to drive around; but that problem has been greatly reduced. I'm a little unsure of why this is (ChatGPT tells me the firmer sidewalls and extra grip of the Michelins should actually make this problem worse), but I promise it's better. I have only put a few hundred miles on these tires since getting them mid-June, so I really can't comment on things such as tire life or wet-weather ability. Road noise and comfort are good, but not really a noticeable change for me. I was a little nervous getting tires almost an inch wider than factory, I thought they might look goofy; but I honestly think most people would be fooled into believing they're OEM. Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase; and I'd go so far as to say it's transformed my car. While my Mustang will always be a bit too heavy and wide to feel like a genuine sports car, it's now a much more willing participant on a back road and it is way easier to carry speed through the turns. An increase in turn-in ability at the front and a decrease in skittishness at the rear also make me a much more confident driver behind the wheel.

Pros: greatly improved steering feel, much more grip, reduced axle-hop, good road noise and comfort, trans
Cons: on-center feedback slightly worse

Rating 3.0

The Pilot Sport Cup 2's had great grip but are VERY expensive and had a strong tendency to tramline - do not reccommend for the street unless you track the car. The Pilot Sport 4s have better manners on the street in the OEM sizes (305/30R19 & 315/30R19) and are less expensive than the Cup 2's.

Pros: great grip
Cons: VERY expensive, tendency to tramline

Nokia Tires

For a pickup or heavy vehicle no way, I have Nokians on my 17 Ford F350 can't wait to get them off, still have 50% according to the wear indicator, been driving for over 40 years and they are the worst tires I have ever had. This experience with Nokians has instilled a real dislike for the brand.

Cons: worst tires ever
Vehicle: Ford

OEM FORD Windshield

I got my first chip after 2 months, then within that week two more rocks hit it and it cracked. I decided to ignore it as it seems like they designed it to catch as many rocks as possible.

Cons: chips easily, cracks easily, poor design
Vehicle: Ford Bronco
