For those who have been to an FPRS event. Where do the non-driving guests stay during the activities they don't get to participate in? Are they just in seats outside baking in the sun all day? My guest needs to make some periodic phone calls for work throughout the day. Is there anywhere they...
hard to tell visually if there’s any feathering since the cup’s don’t really have much of a tread pattern, but running my fingers across the grooves it doesn’t seem like there’s any sharp or soft edges.
i don’t have any flat or straight roads anywhere near me but usually if i’m on a straight...
The tread depth gauges arrived and it’s an even 4/32” middle and inside of the fronts, and 5/32 middle and inside of the rears. If there was uneven wear from alignment i’d think it would be pretty severe after 2900 miles on these cup 2’s.
I’m beginning to suspect it might be road crown. I...
Yea i check my tire pressure before driving every day and they’re at 33 psi cold all around. When i took delivery the front right was 42psi while all the others where in the mid-high 30’s
I drove around slowly in a few different parking lots and garages today. When i let go of the wheel it always centers onto the same spot slightly tilted to the right, but the car goes straight.
If they just eyeball the steering wheel when aligning in the factory I could see how it becomes this...
The covid thing is more my local dealership isn't allowing anyone to stay and wait, so having to arrange a ride to/from the dealership would pretty much be the cost of just paying an independent shop for an alignment
I've been noticing that the steering wheel is tilted slightly to the right when going straight. After about 2900 miles, all 4 tires are about equal wear at roughly 4/32". Given the tire wear doesn't seem uneven, is it safe to assume the alignment is in spec, it's just the steering wheel wasn't...
I’m trying to avoid significantly decreasing tire width. I only drive the car for pleasure so I’m not willing to sacrifice dry/wet grip.
I decreased width one size down for my previous car’s winter set (pilot alpin pa4) and really wished I had the wider width in non-snow/ice conditions, which...
Anyone found a performance winter tire for the cold months? The only one I can find is the pirelli sottozero 2's in 295/30R19 but I think they're discontinued. The one place i found online that had them were $430 a tire (seems marked up compared to $355/tire for 295/35R19 michelin pilot alpin...
thanks for checking. I’ll have to check again when I get a chance. I did try wiping with a damp microfiber cloth lightly, but nothing happened. Was too scared to apply any pressure or try to peel it in case it peeled “vinyl” from the trim piece.
Ok. Guess i’ll ask the dealership about it when I bring it in for its first service. Really hate bringing the car into the dealership if I can avoid it…
thanks everyone
my front is 19x10.5 et24 so the gt350 front is actually 6mm (0.24”) further inboard both inside and outside. I’m just worried that with the wider front tire than stock gt350’s, they might rub the struts. I have seen threads of gt350 owners running 305 up front. Do the gt350s have the same...
Do you recall how much clearance you had between the tire and strut in the front? I’m looking to run these wheels with 305/30R19 all seasons all around for the cold months on my mach 1 w/ handling package. Worried the extra 6mm offset could cause clearance issues.
Due to past experience i’ve actively avoided all season tires. I’ve only ever purchased one set of all season tires (continental extreme contact dws) and they performed poorly while wearing through in 3000 miles. I also grew up in the northeast where all season are absolutely useless in the...
Were you able to find a set of wheels that fit? I'm looking for a wheel set for winter tires as well. Only winter tires I've found with compatible sizes are the pirelli sottozero 2 at 295/30R19. We don't really get much snow where I am but the temps are in the 20's and 30's in the winter...
