Good to know, as I was wondering this too. However, I'm considering cancelling my tire care program which I paid $1080 for 5 years as the contract says they measure inside/middle/outside tread and it ANY spot is under 3/32nd they will not honor EITHER tire or rim damage. The oem cup 2's on my R measure 1/32nd outside and 5/32nd middle and inside as BRAND NEW, so I have a problem with this and have yet to get something from Ford in writing that I"m not going to have to jump through hoops and fight for a warranty claim on a tire.
I didn't buy that policy for the tires, I bought them for the wheels. Tires is icing on the cake. Good point however, I need to get clarification in writing pertaining to the tires.
sounds like over inflation or alignment issue.
The car is brand new, measured with 120 easy street miles on it. The Cup 2 tires outside tread depth is virtually non-existant as brand new.
Yes, that is my point, if your tread is below 3/32nd per the contract they will also DENY WHEEL DAMAGE! My concern is driving home after a track day with freshly made 2/32nd tires (even in one spot) and hit a pothole and crack a wheel, Ford can deny my rim claim just b/c the contract says they can when tire wear is below 3/32nd.
their is no measurable tread depth for the shoulders for the type of tire it is. I just mounted new SC2's on my R, I understand the wear of the tires. Just trying to add insight. This is my second GT350 and both factory alignments were within spec but not optimal. I have used camber bolts for both fronts and properly had the car aligned. proper alignment should even out the wear for street driving but again these tires are so soft, even a little spirited drive will shave of rubber from the shoulders. I experimented with camber and toe for a good balance and may be settling with factory toe and just a lil bit more -camber for street driving. For the track its an absolute must to align with FP specs and maybe even more camber dependent on track.
Jason, thank you for the link.
It certainly is......
I'm going to do the same for my R, $1,121.78 shipped less 3% cashback on product (before tax) = $1,089.26. Don't love what happened to the Cup 2's after 5 track days here though: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forum...-day-longevity-sport-cup2-vs-super-sport.html
Amazon made good with their mixup on the oil, so I'm hoping Walmart does the same thing.
i have tracking numbers for 4 of the 8 i ordered.
Look above your post..
