Standard being a all season tire like the Continental DWS and a option for a max performance summer only tire that rivals even the stock P zero's like a BFG G force Rival or GY Eagle F1 supercar with a tire like the stock P zero in the middle.
As far as magazine test I bet anything they would always test the max performance summer tire the way the Mustang was ALWAYS tested with the brembo package. I don't think I ever read a magazine comparison test of the Mustang without at least the Brembo package, which comes with wider summer tires and most of them had a performance package on top of that. The 4th gen SS had tire options like this. I remember the G Force KD being one of them. That tire was for real and a friend was able to get a 1.7 60ft with them on a bone stock car.

Yep don't think I ever saw a major auto mag review anything but a PP equipped 2015 Mustang.
Agree on the BFG KD, I managed to cut a 1.86 60' on the KDW in my '99 SS. Definitely an impressive tire line.
