These were grippier than a MFer







My old Jackson Racing supercharged Miata; that thing spun them in all gears as it was a factory manual steering setup, no power windows, no power locks, or anything so light AF

 

The elusive short wheel base 80

 

I'm happy to get 10k out of any tire on the rear of my car. Can't blame the tires on that one...

 

Grip is important when you're driving a mustang, it's the only thing keeping you in control otherwise the car will self hone in on the nearest gathering of people.

 

Only thing that got Mustang owner's jollies going was running into another Mustang in the wild; they always wanted to race and the few I'd get a word out to I'd say "let's take it to the track"

No one obliged

 

I'd rather have 16's but I guess 17's are fine

 

They're just finishing renovating our road course here in Spokane, so hopefully this spring I can find an E46 to have some fun in.

 

Agreed on 33s, up two inches in tire one extra inch of rim isn't a huge deal though.

 

Right, they only have the 10.5s in 17 in both 33 and 35

 

They're one of the only ones making skinnies too

 

Couple more options in 15's and there's always the 255's

 

That'd be fun to do again, been some years for me.

But I love that they had track days to allow you to run it at your leisure so my friends and I would add subframe connectors, swap tires, etc and take our cars out and run laps to see if they 'improved'

The experience was just awesome by itself and I learned a lot

 

Mustangs usually have lots of grip, it's the thin line between grip and no grip that is a real crowd killer.

 

Ive been thinking about autoX the Tacoma this year

Just seems fitting for it's resume.
I've towed, I've hauled, I've wheeled it, I've overlanded it, I've drag races it, I've flown it, I think I AutoX/tracked it would be fitting. Need a sway bar up front for that one though.

 

Come here and I'll join you in the long bed Ford

 

Don't tempt me with a good time.

 

I had the e rated ones which were like hockey pucks on my little truck - I needed 4wd to get out of a slightly inclined wet driveway once, and they were already pretty dry rotted at 5 years old. There’s just a lot of better options out there for the price IMO that don’t have 30 year old tread designs. I’d get the Falken Wildpeaks if I wanted an AT.

 

It seems like every truck you get in a trade has them too, and they’re the go-to tire for anyone trying to sell a nice older 4WD.
