I have yet to find any kind of colored dots on my tires, Michelin PS4s. All wheels have 20 or more weights. Wheel in the picture below has 25, 7 on the inner wheel, 2 in the outer wheel (hidden on the picture) and the remaining on the outer wheel.
Total of 125g on this rear wheel, 20" Velgen VF5s
I just had my new Michelin PS4s fitted on a set of new Velgen VF5's, neither of these are budget options and yet I was kinda surprised they used over 20 wheel weights on each wheel, 5g weights. Doesn't look particularly great. I noticed the stock wheels had much less but those also had weight...
My car is turning 5 soon and due for a checkup. I asked them to look at the transmission as well, get weird issues from time to time. Nothing major but not how it felt out of the box.
- Lower speeds I notice it way more when it shifts from one gear to the next
- Very low speeds it can be...
There are countless of situation you could think off where the key isn't in sleep mode (yet) and they can steal your car or steal something from your car. They can't really do anything to prevent this from happening unless they add 2FA, which defeats the whole point.
I keep my keyless...
Waiting for my Velgen VF5 9.5" front and 10.5" rear to arrive. Sticking with the staggered setup, I like how the car drives atm very prediticable. And since I am changing my now 5 year old tires I am not too worried about not being able to rotate. PS4S holding up surprisingly well.
So will be...
Hadn't really looked too much into squared setups. Big reason I am going this route is to fill up the wheel arches with more wheel and also have them close to being flush without running a spacer.
Looking at the Velgen VF5 which come with a 30 offset for the 10" and 45 offset for the 10.5". The...
Currently running stock 255/40/19 (width 9) and 275/40/19 (width 9.5) Michelin PS4s. Those Michelins look pretty fat on those wheels so I wondering what a good size wheel would be for 275/35/20 front and 295/35/20 rear. Currently looking at 10" and 10.5, sticking to the Michelin PS4s for the new...
According to the Michelin website the 4s come with rim protection of some sort as standard. Makes it very confusing that some tire stores offer them with or without protection.
I have the stock 275/40 R19 Michelin 4s tires and I am getting ready to get a new set. Looking to go to 295/35 R20 but am wondering if the stock tires come with rim protection because it’s an option I can select but not sure if I want or need it, Michelin doesn’t put any indications on their...
Reviving this thread a little. Was right in the middle of selecting new wheels and tires since my first set is due at some point. And was looking at going 285/35/20 or 295/35/20, but could only see the 295s with the MO1 marking.
Which is interesting as that would allow 275/35, 285/35 or...
Any comments on the added weight on the outside of the wheel when going from 19” to 20”. And its effects on performance? I’m just a weekend cruiser on backroads and the yearly roadtrip. But been reading up on 19” vs 20” and 19” seem to be getting more popular again because of the many added...
What would be reasonable, anything under 10mm change?
All Ford wheel options I can find are all ET52.5 rear and ET40 front. Which would make sense since anything else will create an uneven load.
I have to correct that, I had the wrong width for the wheels as stock
Current front wheel 19x9 ET45 with 255/40/19
Current rear wheel 19x9.5 ET52.5 with 275/40/19
Planned
Front 275/35/20 with at least 10" wheels
Rear 295/35/20 with 10.5” - 11" wheels
Annoying thing is that I need 10mm in the...
Looking at pricing and availability I might go
Front 275/35/20 wheels +1” w/e they are now
Rear 295/35/20 with 10” wheels
Nothing too crazy I guess, keeping the stock offset should net me 10mm extra tire on the outside to fill things up a bit. Might check out availability and pricing some more...
