I'm quite sure the guy that said 6/10 had no idea what he was doing. Can't exactly do the coin trick in the tread on these. LOL. I'll keep going for the Summer and swap them out.
The 5/60 warranty does not cover wear items.
Yeah, I get that. My point is this tire is ridiculous for this car. Even the new z06 in its highest option gets PS4s. That's the tire most of DH handling pack owners will live with. I'd bet there is an extremely low percentage of owners out there that replace tires with the factory OEM. I get why Ford did this. As an owner, I would have given up a few stats for a livable tire. It's really one of the only bitches I have with the car. As I said, I knew it going in. I wanted the wheels, look, and suspension the HP added. But these tires are not offered on any other mass produced car. Even ford performance equips this car with PS4s for the Track Attack. That alone says a lot.
IMHO, the DHHP is offered so you can take your DH right to the track. NOT so you can run a soft soft tire between home and the grocery store.
This car has three feet of digital screens, a 30lb stereo system, mountains of unnecessary sound deadening, cruse control, lane keep assists (which requires three cameras), heated steering wheel, a back seat as well several other creature comfort accessories. As much as we love it it's a trackable streetcar and not a streetable track car. These tires never made sense for the car.
Common sense dictates that, if one doesn't want a car with a track tire on it, one should not opt for the DHHP. Either that, or do it with the FULL expectation that you should not run that tire on the street and expect street tire mileage.
I’ve been running Yokohama Advan Apex 285/35R19s for about 6 months, much more grip than the stock Contis when warmed up. I’ve only taken them out on one track day so far, but they really performed well. It’s definitely a good option to consider if you want to spend a little less than the Michelin PS4S.
That's why they make this car without that tire too. If you opt for the package made to track, you're going to get the items made to track
I opted for the wing, wheels and splitter.
None of which provide any real advantage over the non-DHHP when driving on public roadways within the boundaries of the motor vehicle code ...
I can't speak for the Pirelli tires on my non-HP Dark Horse yet, as I only have 1,600 miles on them. But what I can tell you is: I just had the tires replaced on my 2021 F150 yesterday. 60,045 miles on the OEM tires that came on the truck, and all four tires still had 5/32nds or more tread on them. Zero uneven wear. Zero issues. No noise. If you're not familiar with the depths at which tires are recommended to be replaced, those tires easily had another 10K to 15K miles on them before getting down to where they would start to tell you to consider new tires soon (3/32nds).
On the track? Or street?
Of course you are. But as I've told many people many times, you are welcome to post your opinions on the Interwebz all day long, but you're going to get all kinds of responses from others, including some dissenting opinions ...
