Just went with the front shocks/mounts and wow what a difference...might end up doing the rears in the spring when I do brakes/rotors. Just depends on if I want to keep it or not after getting to screw around with an S650 in person; might end up keeping my Ecoboost a while longer TBH as I think...
Hey,
So I've got a 2015 Ecoboost Premium with factory 20 inch wheels. I have a little over 90k on my car and my front right side strut/top mount is starting to clunk around. My mechanic said that the rear shocks are still good and just to replace the front struts and mounting hardware/reuse my...
Yup...100% agreed, but I've gone directional and non-directional before and am used to living with it TBH. I've been able to run them in 35-75 degree weather so far and life has been great with these lol. I might get a shot at snow this Monday and will test them some for kicks; WV springtime...
I'm making this a sort of "yeah...it's not ugly" thread since the internet is full of hate talk/looks like a tire exaggerations. There's some really crappy photos circulating around if you just run a google search; same goes with catching them in person on something like a Hyundai Accent.
I'll...
I ended up with the BFGs; and coming from Firestones to these, so far I'm fine with it. For highway cruising and daily use, these are a very nice tire that have a noticeable uptick in ride quality/comfort and no I do not have any issues with road noise. They feel planted in the rain and just...
It's like 95% off topic and has little to do with actual discussion of UHP All Seasons vs Summers. You suggesting that I missed something? Please share, as I would love to see some actual info and direct thoughts related to the actual topic or any of the specific tires that I've mentioned.
Riddle me this...
I've got a 2.3 2015 with stock 20s which I've always run 275/35/20s square, each of the last two generation Firestone Indy 500s, aside from the 265/35/20 Pirelli PZero summers that came stock. Always ran them yearly, even in winter when roads were not bad...even slowly and...
I am so curious about these specifically on a 20 inch 275/35/20 type of size but will take ANY photo help if you can. I'm in need of new tires and have bounced from stock Pirellis and Firestone Indy 500s both current and last gen...I MIGHT be better off with an AS tire just to hold back on...
Your render makes it look great...but I honestly think it won't look right on a regular S550. I was very upsett that grabber blue wasn't offered at first, but I've since come to the conclusion that the color is just too soft on this car unless you're talking an aggressively styled sub model...
What bothers me about the 18 inch wheels is that they aren't 20 inchers as initially intended...Ford used them on EVERY early promo picture released, but they sure as hell weren't 18s. I personally think they would look amazing on a wide tire protruding outward...I might grab a set if American...
I bet you can. The PP cars have the same turning radius as the 20 inch equipped cars, and the 20s run at 265/35 the whole way around. I imagine that you could pull it off, I know that I'm trying it at least when I need new tires.
Most cars feel like appliances...best thing about having a vehicle with a heritage to it is that you always feel like there's something more to it than just something that drives you from point A to point B. I'm looking forward to getting attached to this thing.
Just to reiterate...DIB really does suit this car wonderfully in terms of matching the lines and shape. Don't hesitate to order if anybody is on the hook.
Mazda knocked this thing out of the ballpark...in some ways, more so than Ford did with the Mustang. Just amazing engineering to find ways to make it that much lighter.
Keep in mind that there's also a coupe version pegged for the near future; essentially this is a poor man's F-Type kind of...
It's funny to see so many people bring up the cup holders...this is something that bothered me since day one. S197 had it right with the simple flip cover, I don't know why they didn't keep that idea in place. I think having the cup holders exposed like that makes the car look cheap.
