They did not.
E0 came with Goodyear Eagle GSC and E1 came with Goodyear Eagle F1, both in the same size, 205/55/ZR16. I remember them and I have the 98 E1 spec sheet.
Jim,
My 1998 SVT E0 (purchased in January 1998) did indeed come with 205/55ZR16 Goodyear Eagle GSC tires, but my friends 1998.5 SVT E1 (purchased in December 1998) came with 215/50ZR16 BF Goodrich g-Force T/A KDW tires just as Stazi said. I also have the specifications (in hand) and you are correct they read "Goodyear Eagle F1, 205/55ZR-16" just as you say, but my friend�s car came (from the factory) with the larger BFGs. I would have to say that Ford's specification were definitely "subject to change without notice".
