After they've had a good amount of time to cool though, right? I know it often goes without saying around these parts, but if a cold torque rating is applied to a hot stud after a lapping session the nut may feel looser than normal for different...-
There's a lot of quoting of general cases, but we're dealing with a specific case here. If you use a spacer, and the same wheel, the centerline of the wheel & tire moves away from the hub, and leverage (and bearing wear) on the hub increases...

The 3R's are everything I heard about. Big jump for me having only ever ran the PS4's in the past. Yes, they do not grip well in the cold and wet, but they are manageable as long as water is not running across the track or puddling. First two...

Yokohama A052s were great at NCCAR. My car normally runs a full slick.. I’m new to the car and learning it so I don’t have a comparison. I noticed it was easier to get rotation while trailing than I’m accustomed to with my previous car (350R...

my first day out with the Bridgestone Potenza RE71RS went great - broke my PB at Hallett and then topped that by a few tenths. Very impressed with them so far! Thanks for the recommendation @Bill Pemberton!

I made a reel about this because a C8 on Cup 2’s binned it into the gravel at COTA after we had just been released from the pit
- Slow3v replied to the thread S197 FR500S #32.Awesome car! Looking forward to following the build. If you ever want a buddy for a track day let me know - I live about 40 minutes from you based on your profile location. (see full post)
- Slow3v replied to the thread S197 BackInBlack.Just go put 2-3 gallons of e85 in, you’ll get the octane you’re looking for. (see full post)

Not to sound like your dad but if this is your first time on the 3R or similar be aware that they will have a lot less grip than your old PS4s when cold. You have to get some heat in them. I looped my car on the out lap one time on them at...

I will be using some Goodyear F1 Supercar 3R's Memorial Day weekend for the first time on my 2021 GT500. This is my first time running the car at the track without the Michelin PS4's that came stock on the car. I have been running the PS4's for 5...

I am bumping this thread only because it is May, and this is a useful thread with good reference material.
-
not on a Mustang but on my local track there were a few high profile incidents with hubs braking wheel hubs and tires flying.
-
Fair enough. The only reason i’d consider is ti even out tire wear and save money. If that’s possible lol

Too bad the Goodyear Supercar 3R does not come in a 295/30 R 19, because I would just keep the staggered OEM wheels and run those up front and 305 in the rear.
-
Yes, he was running 305 on the front and 315 on the rear, the tires Ford puts on the Dark Horse with handling package. 10.5" and 11" wheels.The Trofeo RS 315/30R19 could fit up front with an 11" wheel. It has a very narrow tread width compared...

Bill Pemberton replied to the thread New to road courses.Many of us on here would tell you to save your budget, take off the Supercharger and run with stock 5.0 liter for now. Running with a Supercharger tends to be a constant work in progress to reduce heat, conquer heat soak and more. Take off the... (see full post)
