High powered Mustangs are unstable and prone to flipping over. Maybe Ford should put wheels on the roof of Mustang GTs.

They are NOT "unstable and prone to flipping over". They are prone to assholes that are trying to overcompensate for small man parts by buying a powerful Mustang and jack-butting them around on public roads are the culprit.

Seems like a tire problem. Its crazy how people kit out there cars and then run out of money to replace tires. Summer tires wear so quickly (like 8,000 miles and even quicker if the car is driven hard).

This guy's tyres were basically bald and most people don't want to pay $300 to $600 a tire to replace them within that 6,000 to 8,000 mile range. Bald tires combined with lots of power = disaster.

8,000 miles seems very aggressive.

I'd think more like 20,000 miles.

20,000 miles gets you normal driving on a GTI or BMW on normal size rims (i.e. standard OEM sport rims).

Put aftermarket 20's or 21's on a 5 year old Mustang with 35 aspect tires, sport compound tread, and they last 8,000 miles max if you drive like grandma, less if you track it on public roads, as many of these tuners do.
