I'll apparently swap these out due to time long before they wear out.
Yes, they are very smooth. Did a 600 mike trip over Mother’s Day and averaged 20.5 running 75 most of the time. Waiting to see what they do in wet conditions but really like them so far.

Mine are 265/60/18.

That sounds about right for a 4.2

I'll try and post pics, but we've got a 1957 Thunderbird at our shop with a Coyote swap. (1st Gen 5.0 and a 4R70)

Been out of touch for awhile - back around Christmas I kept getting a message that my password needed to be changed and every time I tried to reset it the site would tell me my password was incorrect so I finally gave up!

Not too much is new on this end - although I recently added a new car to my stable of toy cars. Ran across a pristine 2001 Mustang GT several weeks back with only 8000 original miles on it. Hemmed-and-hawed with the owner until we worked out a price I could live with and pulled the trigger!

Not sure what I’m going to do with it just yet - beyond a CAI and an aftermarket shifter the thing is completely unmolested, so part of me wants to leave it be. Then there’s the part of me that wants to do some mild tweaks to make it mine - slight drop, cat-back exhaust, rims and tires, etc.

I’d post some photos but the dang site always tells me I’ve reached my limit and won’t let me.....

Good grief! It’s telling you that you’ve reached the limit on vehicles!
