The dry grip is amazing, when they are warm from a stand still to full throttle it is very hard to lose traction. Wet grip is more then I can ask for. I can drive sporty in the rain and no loss of grip. I have almost driven 70.000km on the tires now. My previous tyres were Pirelli P Zero Nero which came with the car and compared to the Michelin it is literally a night and day difference.

No real issues with these tyres except that rear tyres worn to indicators in less than 6000 miles! Surprised me ! Worn in the middle due to over inflation from the tyre fitting company I used, set the tyres to 36 psi cold even though the sticker says 32! I left the tyres at 36 thinking they knew what pressure works best for said tyre on said vehicle but obviously not! Trying another brand now and will make sure different tyre company sets to 32.

I used 255/40R19 front and 285/40R19 rear, both on 9" rim width. They perform well and handle aquaplaning really good.

Ford Mustang GT 255 40 19.
The tires are a budget option but they give a good grip on dry roads even in lower temperatures. I have not lose any grip so far besides when I push the car. The only problem is the braking in wet conditions, you need to be extra careful. For the price and city conditions is a great choice but not for track or 100% highway driving on no speed limit highways.

I had these tires replacing some ovation vi 388, the have far far bettee handling dry and wet, no complain except the wear barely after 5,000 miles tires are below 50% life, not worth at all after the cost.

my 2016 mustang gt came with Pirelli pzero nero tires. i'm the one guy on the mustang forums that likes these tires, however during the post-pandemic supply chain issues i could not find them. so i bought the Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 because they were the only "good" tire i could find. i found the pirelli and the michelin equal in everything except: dry road michelin are better, wear michelin are lasting me longer. i did get 0.4mpg more on the pirelli.
im in south texas so weather is hot. i have a 1 hour commute to work (24mi highway, 20mi city). road are generally good. im likely to get the michelin again as they have already lasted me 40% more than the pirelli and are still good.

All aspects of the tyres are comparable to ALL my experiences with this type of tyre ( specs ) through many years of different vehicles , from Mercedes , Porsche etc EXCEPT for the MILEAGE aspect. At some 18,500 kms I now need to replace ALL four tyres on my Mustang GT. This is around 50% expected usage - NOT ACCEPTABLE.

I thought buying a big name brand I'd be getting a tire that would last more than 4000 miles. The rears are almost down to the indicator. These are on a mustang which has been babied since I got it,no burnout,no linelocks. Just normal driving. They are also horrible in the rain to the point that 40mph is all I will go on wet surface. The car is all over and it's not because it needs an alignment. Definitely will not buy again.

Since no one has reviewed them yet besides the all season test published here I will give an initial impression.
First thoughts are actually positive compared to autobild which gave quite a negative review regarding the wet braking performance.
I drive an old Mustang which I bought recently and it came with Nankang summer tyres on the rear and Lanvigator catchgre all season on the front.
Those previous tyres were absolutely garbage in the wet. It would slide in the slightest turn on the highway and a little bit more acceleration it would spin easily.
None of these issues with Goodride Z401. I had to choose between those and the slightly more expensive Sailun Atrezzo 4 season.
The latter wasn't in stock so I took the gamble.
It would make sense to buy premium tyres for a high performance car but since it's old/high mileage, unknown history I am careful with investing. Of course safety matters and the biggest threat I saw was wet breaking. I promised myself to behave in wet conditions.
The weather was dry but roads wet since the humidity is most of the time close to a 100%
and temperature +1°C.
I stepped on the accelerator in the turns expecting that it would spin and break out like the Nankang did. No spinning whatsoever.
Braking in the wet/Icy conditions...no surprises.
Biggest advantage...they are quiet. The Sailun Atrezzo isn't....(they were on the rentalcar glad I didn't buy them).
So far I am happy with them. Sometimes you have to experience things yourself and not blindly follow online reviews but always take your driving style in consideration.
With a more modern sophisticated car you would notice without doubt the difference between a Goodride and the premium brands.
With a classic, which most owners treat it with respect and usually not a daily driver I think you will be fine with those budget tyres.
Snow traction/breaking looked ok on the autobild test. I will add my experience in the next review after 5k miles or so.

These tyres came on my Mustang GT. On the dry they are fine. On the wet simply dangerous.
I don't know what the previous owner was thinking but I guess he drove slow.
On a tight 270° turn I was shocked how easily the car would skid. Also acceleration was like on being on ice/snow. Worthless. Maybe a good tyre for drifters.
The only positive side that they last quite well. The production date shows its from 2011 and it shows hardly any wear. This will be the final month.

These came stock on my 2018 Mustang GT non-performance pack. I have to be honest here as they don't handle either cool or hot temps well at all. I understand I have a lot of torque going through a pretty small contact patch (255), but I don't rev it to but about 4k and less than 3/4 throttle max in ideal conditions. Ideal for these tires meaning between 70 and 90 degrees. Any colder than that and they really feel like rocks, any hotter and they are so greasy - I mean hunting for traction and squirming at up to 70mph. I have learned to be careful with them outside of these temps. I can understand cooler temps, but how greasy they are, especially at 100+ is really a no go for me. I would not recommend these tires if you have over 400hp - I won't buy them again.
