compounds are employed which provide greater traction and speed ratings, but wear faster than 

conventional tires. The tires on your ROUSH

®

 Mustang are a major part of your vehicle’s ability to perform 

at a high level.

•  The wide, low-profile tires on your vehicle have a tendency to “telegraph” road irregularities such as 

crowned or grooved pavement. This is not a defect in your vehicle; rather a pull or a push in your 

vehicle’s front end may be due to road conditions.

•  Vehicles equipped with coilover suspension systems are likely to create additional suspension noises 

when compared to stock suspensions. These are normal for the system.

•  The original equipment summer tires provide superior performance on wet and dry roads. ROUSH

 does 

not recommend using summer tires when temperatures drop to approximately 45° F (7° C) or below, or in 

snow/ice conditions.
