Congratulations and welcome. If those are the original Goodyear tires with only 6000 miles on them, they are about 14-15 years old. Those tires would now be hazardous to your health and need to be replaced before you do any serious driving. Call any manufacturer and they will tell you the extreme maximum age for any tire is 10 years and it's best to replace them before 7 years if you plan to do any highway driving no matter how many miles they have on them or how much tread is left on them. Also make sure the oil pump belt has been replaced and other belts. You don't want them to break and grenade your engine.

Thanks for the welcome and tips. They are not the original goodyears (dated 2015), but I do plan on adding bridgestones. Thank you!

Few more tips....

If doing early am drives or below 55 temp might want to wait till Tires warm up

The new owner Tech FAQs are helpful


Helps with funky “noises”: Trans rattle-snake, neutral gear roll-over; 2nd gear cold grind, shift tunnel cable resonance

make sure you have “full owners kit”
-OEM Ford charger
-cover w/duffle
-Conti Tire inflater
-Leather owners manual
-spare shifter ball as paper weight

All still available from ford parts

ps, your license plate screws should be 4 black matte T27 captive washer Torx; avail from Ford

#4G7Z16163AA

black Matte frame would be nice too

You don’t need an extra ball..... ya have plenty.

Extra shifter ball not in delivery pack LOL
