  1. S550 Saving a Mach1

    Well, apparently you did hell of a job and those Mach 1's look amazing!Did you have anything to do with the design process of the PP1 spoiler? From what I remember, they were saying a lot more research went into that thing than it meets thw eye. Always wondered if that's true. I am planning...
  2. Yet Another Tire Thread. Firestone, Ohtsu, Michelin

    Well I know trackdaytire had buy 3 get 1 free for Conti's but can't see it on their website anymore.
  3. Yet Another Tire Thread. Firestone, Ohtsu, Michelin

    Well I am actually considering those for the future. But if I can talk to lmr and just get the wheels and the tpms sensors for a good price, then, it could be a different story.
  4. Yet Another Tire Thread. Firestone, Ohtsu, Michelin

    I am really curious to see 295/30/19's on 10" wheels actually. Do you think those Conti's would be fine to drive me to work and back? 😅
  5. Yet Another Tire Thread. Firestone, Ohtsu, Michelin

    Yes sir, I consider myself lucky. I keep reading, there is a lot to learn around here!I was actually eyeballing the Continental Extreme Contact Force on Trackdaytire.com.However, I think buy 3 get 1 promotion is no more. Not sure if they are street legal, aand they only have 295/30/19...
  6. Yet Another Tire Thread. Firestone, Ohtsu, Michelin

    😅Well I found some people comparing them to Nitto 555 G2's, some liking them better even and I found some people comparing Nitto 555 G2's to Firehawk 500's. So I thought how bad could it be?But I am also allergic to Pirellis. And factory 235/50/18's look like someone attached lamb legs to...
  7. Yet Another Tire Thread. Firestone, Ohtsu, Michelin

    Yes that's correct. However I can't find that data for some tires. Michelin PS4S seems to be little wider than Conti Extreme Contacts and Firestones but no data on Ohtsu. Which is understandable. Who cares they are $120 a tire lol
  8. Yet Another Tire Thread. Firestone, Ohtsu, Michelin

    I checked Simpletire and Tirerack. They both show Ohtsu has 11.1" Section Width while Firestone has 11.42" on Simpletire and 11.4" on Tirerack.I am feeling more and more like I should push it a little more and get the Firestones.
  9. Yet Another Tire Thread. Firestone, Ohtsu, Michelin

    That is actually a good point. Those Ohtsu's did not look all that wide to my peepers.Do you know which website I should check for the most accurate dimensions?
  10. Yet Another Tire Thread. Firestone, Ohtsu, Michelin

    Yes sir. That is why I am trying to carefully plan this all within a tight budget. I wouldn't go out there without getting all this checked and I am 100% comfortable with my vehicle.285/35/19's sound like a nice happy middle for a while. It seems, they are tall enough for my Mustang to be...
  11. Yet Another Tire Thread. Firestone, Ohtsu, Michelin

    Bill, please excuse my ignorance on this issue, but what would make Apex's better than SVE's?SVE's were on discount and I got them with Ohtsu's but only 3 of them arrived. Also the tires were 2,5 years old. I have talked to LMR and they agreed to send me a new set with fresh tires and take...
  12. Yet Another Tire Thread. Firestone, Ohtsu, Michelin

    Thank you for the reply. But I have 2 problems with the stock Pirellis. First, they feel like I am moving on cement blocks that are somehow wobbly in daily driving situations, and to me, it just doesn't feel like I know where they are and what they are doing. Although that wasn't the case even...
  13. Yet Another Tire Thread. Firestone, Ohtsu, Michelin

    Hi all!I haven't really been active since I registered due to work and some other reasons. But I have a 23' GT with MT82 and Active Exhaust, fully stock as of now.(Love those 235 Pirellis👌)I will try to keep it short as these questions were probably asked a thousand times. But here it is...
  14. Member Introductions - Introduce Yourself

    Uh oh, I think I opened the wrong can haha! Well can I be your 3rd friend on this website? 😄😄I have done a lot of reading, talked to Mach1 owners and watched countless videos on Mach1's. I absolutely love those vehicles. I was sceptical when they came out but absolutely amazing machines for...
  15. Member Introductions - Introduce Yourself

    No need to get out anyways, behind that wheel is good enough! 😄 Do you still have that Mach 1 on your signature by the way? It looks great! Do you think it would be a better idea for someone to start with something like that instead of a base model as I am trying to do?
