Should be here by next week. $676 shipped. The local Ford dealer is going to install and do the alignment using Carfxer's specs for $155. Total of $831. Cheaper than BFg's. I hope I like them!! I will post my impressions once everything is said and done.

They have to be better than OEM. What do you mean by soft? More sidewall flex?

Shazaam, I ordered a set for the rear a couple of hours ago. Only needed rears since stock fronts just put on in April.

Yes, a little more sidewall flex but I don't really notice.

I believe they are softer riding as BFG OEM's are 400 treadwear and these new Coopers are 500.

Our friend from Canada Pierre has put them on his car and he really likes them. Also the look nice on the car, run smooth & grip well.

Ordered the tires on Monday. Got home in time today to take them off the UPS truck. Nice enough looking tire but not as pretty as the Nitto 420s

Did you get the stock MM sizes?Just to let you know Pierre from canada that comes to the tower shops had them installed also & he has said they handle really good & ride nice and smooth. They come in the stock factory sizes & look really nice too.They also cost less than the stock tires & aren't hard to get.

I only replaced the rears, and in stock size. Fronts are stock, but have similar tread and have only ben on since April.
