This tire vs. this tire...

The design of the old mopar suspension was good for it's day but by today's standards it's not very good. The caster & camber change through the suspension range of motion and the amount of body roll don't allow for the tire to remain flat on the road. The bump steer in the front, rear steer introduced by the layout of the leaf springs and the generally soft bushings and flexible suspension parts induce instability that doesn't inspire confidence during high speed driving in the twisties. .

The new Mustangs with MacPherson strut suspension have worse camber gain in compression and roll. Same for the FWD strut cars.

4 links have rear steer too.

I don't have bump steer numbers on modern cars nor older ones, but I would not assume just because it's newer it has less bump steer. I believe they sell bump steer corrector kits for modern cars, so they must not be perfect.

Personally I can't see spending the up to $200 or more that the typical "Ultra Performance" tire costs in that situation. However, if you looked at my second post after I had gone to the Tire Rack site and the tires ckj688 has mentioned are well under $100 each right in the same price range something like a BFGoodrich Radial TA and suggested that he should go for it.

Then after seeing the upgrades he has down to the suspension the tires are right in line with what would be appropriate.

As far as my being able to get the full potential out of my 360, I do almost every time I drive it. I have done a lot of suspension upgrades, to my car not as extensive as the coil over Alterkation kit cjk688 has done but I have made a very significant improvement in the handling.

I agree, that going from a $130 tire to a $230 tire is not going to give you much bang for the buck if you haven't done many of mods and refinements to the rest of the chassis.
