How did they feel at that wear level? Grip, noise, mpg?

They were on a sportage so feel is probably a little irrelevant.

I didn’t notice them being noisy but again, it’s not really something I would have noticed on the sportage - especially if it’s only a gradually increase with time.

For the first few drives on the motorway, I did notice that the replacements (uniroyal’s) were quieter, but you soon adjust to that being the new normal.

I have to be honest, those tyres from the sportage are not a tyre I would particularly want on or recommend for a mustang.

59k out of a set (rotated, but all all worn identically to that photo above) is defo a tyre that prioritises life over grip - that would be like having the hottest wife in town, dressing her in baggy clothes, and only banging her twice a year (Christmas and birthday) … :facepalm: :giggle:

i bet the mpg on the Sportage is a lot better (ie more miles per g) than the mustang so yeah different horses for difference courses. Drive it or garage it eh (for the mustang)?
