my Cup2s are sticky at ambient but turn into molten rubber when on track. Pretty amazing how well they work in that regard.
I replaced the BF Goodyears on my '68 convertible last year. They were 36 years old. They had about 5k miles on them. They looked brand new inside and out. They have been inside for 99.9% of their life. The same tires are on my '70 Mach 1, at 32 years. Are the new BFGs I put on going to last 36 years, or is the quality not the same?
What's your goal? To become a professional driver (regardless of it being profitable or not)? to find a new fun way to burn money? To live out a dream of driving a car you maybe can't afford on track? I did the drive an exotic before i had a car that was worth taking on track. It was a blast. I have more fun doing hpde now where I get significantly more track time (and get stuck with the cost of tires and rotors and brake pads and fixing things that break and trying to chase gremlins) . While the idea of racing is appealing the cost of racing is not but if that was a goal progressing towards a license and avoiding picking up any bad habits is your best bet.
The Koni Special Actives with Eibach Pro package is the best overall ride for S197 platform. It even comes with bump stops.
I ended up changing the shocks for KONI’s STRT kit and it made it a little more comfortable.
Keep the solid brembo rotors. They are bullet proof compared to others.
Replaced them with plenty of tread life left with the Crossclimate2’s and the drive is night and day.
I had the G2s on my dailies Bullitt, and they were decent enough, but would spin pretty readily, god forbid it was wet out
Just realized Carmax put a new set of these on the 2020 Mustang I bought from them. Easily the worst performing tire in the rain that I have ever encountered. Instant hydroplaning on concrete, when there isn't even much of any water. At least knowing how terribly cheap these tires are, I may not feel bad replacing them before their end of trade life. Dangerous! Avoid!
Those nittos can’t hook for a damn if you’re supercharged. Any time i got on the throttle they were going sideways.
