Hi Charlemagne. That all makes sense. Unfortunately though the PSS 295/35’s are not available in Aus. Options with that spec in the Michelin range are limited to either the Cup 2’s, of which I avoided due to wet weather performance, and the PS4S. Both were difficult to find in the sizes I wanted...
The Pilot Sport 4s 295/35 R19 is made for rims 10-11.5 inch. I have checked this with 3 independent tyre stores here in Aus and the tyre is fine without any compromise, despite the slight stretch.
Here are the details also from Michelins site..
Congratulations!! It’s a beautiful car, gets a lot of attention, and am sure one that you will both enjoy. God bless you are both safe & well from the unfortunate accident 👍👍
Hi there. I have Pilot Sport 4s - Front 275/35/19 and Rear 295/35/19. I’d rather keep at a 35 profile rather than going down to 30’s. These are the widest possible with the Pilot Sport 4s at a 35 profile. Maybe if you can hold out till the Continental Contact 7’s are released, you may be able to...
Completely agree regarding Ford nailing it with the HP cars. Would have been a nice option to order them with it all complete here in AU. Can’t complain to much though, as to just have the Mach 1 alone puts a smile on my face each time I open the garage and take her out.
Very keen to see yours...
It most certainly looks the part now 👌. A good fit. Unfortunately (as we all know) Covid has led to shortages globally so you’re lucky man to get Continentals in that size 😉. Am with you on the HP springs, camber plates and rear bar. They’re next on my list, but would certainly like to hear how...
Thanks for the research & info Charlemagne! Am eagerly awaiting SportContact 7’s also. To tell you the truth, I pondered and thought about what to do for several weeks, also making many calls to tyre centres before going for the 275/35 and 295/35 PS4’s. I did consider Cup2s early in the piece to...
Hi Charlemagne. The TPMS sensors that came with the US HP rims wouldn’t synch with my car here in AU. Different frequency. So took the ones out of the stock Mach 1 wheels and used them. Synched/programmed them fine thereafter using the remote supplied with the US rims.
Thanks Atlas1, Charlemagne & MLO 351 👍😉. The Mach 1’s come up very nice with some of the the HP kit added. Draws some attention and conversation I guess with people in my suburb enjoying checking it out and having a friendly chat about it. No other mods though other than a better air filter and...
Thank you. Wheels are actually from the US. Prefer all original. To tell you the truth, the ones offered here in AUS although come close, are different. The edges of the spokes have a sharper contour/profile and the colour is not quite the same, also some other small differences. Also they are...
Hi there. They are genuine, from Ford in the US, and not sprayed here. I have the Spoiler and Gurney Flap from Herrod Ford also. They have Ford part number stickers under each item.
