a MY2021 car built in late fall 2020 will not only have the lower pricing on options it is likely shod with PS4S. Anything build in 2021 has the even more massive price gouges and Pirelli's. IF you want a good price on a PP1, buy a MY2020 that was built in late 2019.

It is not.
Does the PP1 have a different tire?
Yes, but I think that’s what upset people.

PP1’s had the MPS4S for a few years but they have gone back to Pirelli for 2021.

Pirelli seem to have a bad rep for the type / model that they fit to the mustangs (when compared to the MPS4S).

Couple the tyre ‘downgrade’ with the 2021 PP1 price increases and people get upset real quick ...

Most likely, the reason for the change from Mich to Pirrelli is, in most businesses, bids are solicited from parts suppliers with required specifications, Pirrelli won this round.

Translation - lower cost for car manufacturer. As always.

I agree 100%.

I got to experience the Pirellis on my 2017 last summer. They are terrible.

And Blizzaks are really good for winter weather. I love passing the 4WD vehicles in my Mustang on an icy day.
The Sport S on my Bullitt have been great so far. Blizzaks are the best winter tire we’ve ever run on all my wife’s cars. With AWD they are unstoppable. And the Michelins on my truck are great too. Ditched the factory Hancooks after 5k miles as tires are cheaper than my collision deductible.

Those hydroplaned so bad it was frightenin.
