Oh yeah. She gave em the good all around sniff, looked up at me and I could feel the question in her eyes⊠âabout 2,000 bucks, right?â
Surprised you think the Super Sports are good for only 10K. My original Sport Cup 2's were changed at 11K, and still had a little life left. Replaced with the Super Sports, and hoping to get near 30K out of them.
Youâre right! Super Sports can go quite the distance. 30k in fact. On our cars, the camber is factory set for more aggressive configuration which means tire wear will be more prominent. The rears had decent tread left, but were rock solid. Tire milage is not the same as tire âageâ. The tires were 6 years old, and the compound was that of a hockey puck. I donât daily the car, nor track it. Most of the 20k miles were in south Florida where the roads are mostly straight. Iâm not surprised at the wear pattern. I had Ford align it to factory spec, and weâll see how this next 20k miles goes!
Im not a pro, but Iâve been detailing/polishing for a loonnnggg time. Hobby. My dad was a pro. But this is my first (and probably last) black project. Black is a different f$&@ing animal. But I did ok. Certainly appreciate you noticed the before and after shots.
I'll take one for the team, when the lubricating juices need circulated around in that beautiful
I have approx 14k on my MPSS. Considering going to the 4S model even though it doesn't come in the stock 35 size. Seems to ease up some of the tramlining. Wasn't sure if Michelin was going to continue with the OEM MPSS for the 350.Threw on some new tires. It was definitely time, considering they were made in 2016.. didnât realize I was dancing with the devil till I got under the car to change the oil and took a glance at the tires and cord was glancing right back at me. Needless to say, Pilot Super Sports arenât designed to go much past 10k miles. âOl girl has 20k+. I was thinkin I had a good batch! Picked up OE sized tires from tire rack for a decent price and free delivery to my house and had a vetted tire and wheel shop mount and balance em. Car wouldnât make it on the alignment rack, soo, off to Ford I go. I pull into the check-in bay and the porter comes up, takes the keys and checks the car in. With complimentary Ford coffee in hand, Iâm watching through the glass as she hops in. One minute has passed. I start getting sweaty. 2 more people walk over and start talking to her. I take a sip of coffee. Car starts up. Brake lights off, on, off, on stall. Another sip of coffee. Everyone around the car spin on their heels and I lock eyes with all of them. The general manager in her office explodes out of her chair and towards the car. She gets in, starts it back up and cool-ly putters around to the work bay. As Iâm pacing and contemplating life decisions, one of the porters come up to me and says âsee, you left it in first gear and she didnât know that when she let the clutch outâ. I leaned in and held back my irritated tone said, âyou leave it in first so if the e-brake lets go, it doesnât roll awayâ. She just trotted away. Needless to say, control and stability are outstanding, again. Keep an eye on your tire wear everyone!
