    Falken RT660: recommendations for 18x11 Apex wheels

    Sorry I think my post was confusing. I need to buy a new set of street tires and I am leaning towards the Falken RT660. Just wondering if a 315/30 is a significant difference over a 295/40 for my 18x11 wheels.

    MCA - please get your HPDE act together - the story of my first and last MCA event

    Yeah it was a great weekend, but I was disappointed by the lack of organization and some staff commentary in the Friday and Saturday drivers' meetings. Perhaps one of the more significant comments was that open passing in advanced and super advanced was considered "racing" by their insurance...

    Falken RT660: recommendations for 18x11 Apex wheels

    I track a 2013 Brembo GT; remounted a set of 295/40-18 Falken RT660 tires on Apex 18x11 wheels in 2023. I have another set of identical wheel with 305 Pirelli slicks. The 295/40 tires match the diameter of the slicks and give a little more ground clearance on the street. My question for the...

    MUSTANG 60TH BIRTHDAY PARTY AT BARBER

    We had great weather, and I saw more Mustangs on the track this weekend than I have in my last decade of track days combined. Amazing to see so many Boss302 and FP350 cars on the track. I also have a newfound respect for the S550 cars, but I especially loved running along the '66 Fastback on...

    Drove 250 miles to track on worn Falken 295/40-18 on Apex 18x11 wheels. Great weekend and good to see all the Mustangs with the MCA 60th anniversary show.

    GT500 for track duty

    So is anyone actually using a S550 GT500 for track days; is there a 19" wheel that will clear the massive stock brake setup? Alternatively, has anyone retrofitted the GT350R setup to utilize a 19" wheel?

    Master cylinder code - bleed system ?

    As a follow up, the car seems fine but even with the stock ABS (not Boss race) module, I have all kinds of codes. I've reset and keep getting a C1A99 brake pressure sensor code?

    Gutting electronics on 2013 S197

    I have a 2013 Mustang GT that I have tracked since 2014. I'm on my second motor (Frankentstein 3-2-1 with L&M cams), second set of suspension (Cortex Koni 500# coilovers), rollbar with Corbeau seats and harnesses, and third MT82transmission. Note that I love the car and am comfortable...

    Wide wheel contact on a S197 only in tight turn

    Last weekend I drove at Barber with Rezoom Motorsports HDPE. I've been tracking my 2013 Brembo GT for over seven years now; it has a fresh motor with 2018 manifold and L&M cams, Cortex Racing Koni 500# coilovers and 250# springs in rear. For the first time I installed my Apex ET52 EC7 18 x 11...
