Good quality video.
1. Stop the hop kit is a good investment (communicate with Stang Mode for insight)
2. You know that the 45 aspect ratio on your rear tires not only makes the side wall taller but increases the overall diameter of the tire too. It has the effect of changing your gear ratio and subsequently your torque multiplication.
(eg. 3.55's behave like 3.31's-just an illustration not sure of your exact change)
Also, a loose front end is not necessarily a bad thing for drags at the track where it is flat and has no crown the way a public street does in Mexico. You might even try a few passes at Maple Grove with your front sway bar removed. So, wait a while on the strut tower brace.
yes I have noticed how the gears behave differently. My car doesn't even shift into 4th until well after 120 mph.
Dude thanks again for the video. I love the look of the AZ850s on the rear of my Stang! And the price was great compared to OEM replacements!!
🤘🏼🤘🏼
They are really good tires I had them on my 2015 charger SRT392 and a lot of dodge challenger and charger owners use it because they hook better than the firestones, pirelli pzeros neros, even better than the nitto nt555. I run 315/35/20 on the rear with a stock 9.5 inch wide wheel. They wore even so im a happy customer and would recommend them to anyone. Nut now im gonna try some nangkangs they have a way lower tread wear which mean better grip.
Are they worth it.
Thanks man! Just ordered Atturo AZ850 285/45/19 for the rears, getting installed this Sat!
Did you like these tires?
@@ericeng7262 I really do like them. Great traction and they look great with spacers.
What kind of hook does these tires have on cold surfaces? I know this video is kinda old but do you still run these tires?
Seems I have to make a choice now. Was planning to run the indy 500s. I am trying to get a good street tire but will mostly be track use.
I want to stay with the street tire cars. I don't think I would be competitive otherwise.
Any updates on tire wear versus miles put on the Atturos? Good vid.
I'm running 255 pilot sport 4 all seasons as my street setup since it doesn't stay above 70° here long enough to make summer streets worth it.
Would this tire setup work for my 2018 ecoboost? I was thinking about getting new wheels the front is 20x9 and the rear is 20x10.5.
Are those sve s350’s? That’s look amazing thinking about going with those
This vid is a nice little gem. You said, the car relies on tire grip more than the balance of the chassis....that is 100% true for S197s as well. When you take a long high speed corner on the freeway the body rolls diagonally and then snaps back. I have driven my friends Civic, it doesn't have that much diagonal G-force, it has much more lateral G-force, tells me that the car has a tighter chassis and spring. I'm looking at some good quality coilovers and panhard bar to stiffen up the body and minimize diagonal G.
Also, the car has a tendency to nose dive under heavy breaking and the grip feels lighter when going over humps at high speed. I'm pretty sure the coilovers will handle vertical G for the most part, but changing the breaks to 4-piston front and 6-piston rear will also improve the breaking balance, but I have to careful not to lock the rear wheels.
If you all understand my problem and goal then please let me know what you think.
Would you mind sharing what coilovers you used?
I really like how this looks, Can i run the same setup on the stock 2020GT wheels ?
Do u think I can fit this same setup on a s197 with 19 wheels
AWESOME RIDE BROTHA !!
Hey brother! Where did you purchase for 100 per tire? Alabama here. Would appreciate the feedback
Get the stop the hop kit it really works
Did you have any power modifications on the car at point?
I think your car looks awesome!
Are you guys still finding this for that price i look up that size and it said it was 245 like huh
Good video👍 alot of ppl tend to under rate some tires. I was sketchy at first for a cheap prize tire but I personally got the Sumitomo High Performance HTR Z II Series Tire on my Stang FBO. And they grip super great ,also they were $110 each .
Blueboy 956 wite psi do you put them on cuz mine slide all over the place
What wheels are you running?
Yo will this setup fit on a 19 gt?
Can I get these on my stock rims 2017 coyote
I go with drag radials cause you never know when that challenger pulls up
Its important for the back to have better traction, regardless of awd, fwd or rwd. Not my opinion, consumer reports did test. The car will spin out if the back looses traction and the front grip. Look it up dont take my word for it.I will not respond to any disagreement btw look it up just trying to be helpful
That is because of weight distribution. Its simple science. As your car is moving along most of the mass/weight wants to go to the rear of the vehicle. Unless you brake for over a second, generally the mass always wants to shift to the rear.
got 275 atturoAZ850 on my 392 once they warm up yeah they hook up nice ofc you get some spin but night and day compared to stock
I know this video is pretty old but what’s the size of your rear wheels?
Add some 4:10 gears to a good drag radial to that car and it’ll knock a second off the quarter.
Probably long after you care but Idk about the 4:10 gears on an ecoboost, I've got the 3:55 gears on mine and I have to shift to 3rd at 58mph but the stock 3:31 gears get to 65. The extra shift/time on peak boost lost makes it loose time till your pushing more hp.
so would you recommend mixing different tire brands together? i thought that affects the tread life
hasn't affected mine at all! But I would say if you put tires that aren't similar then it would but these have similar tread ware and are a similar summer performance oriented tire
hecck yeah bro great video
Best tires should always go in rear. Prevents hydroplaning the rear and spinning out vs hydroplaning the front.
Can you put these tires on an ecoboost
Hey question I just got my rears 285/45/19 tires and they are a tiny bit taller than the fender are they still gonna fit on a 19 rim?? I can’t tell if they just tuck under the fender once u put them on a tire and mounted pls lmk!
You’ll be fine. I ran them on lowering springs and never rubbed
Down South Racing what kind of springs ?
did they fit without rubbing??
@@Az-fe2xe no rubbing with bmr
I have 235 a/s Pirelli on my 18' 5.0, 10a, 3.15 rear I am able to get 1.8s 60 ft at 24psi.
thats mostly due to the 10 speed putting more torque to the ground than my 6r80
Any idea how well they will hold to 700 whp i barely drive my car in the rain bc radials but would like to get something like that
GT/CS_Coyote stick shift or auto? I think an auto car would be pretty good on them! As for a stick shift car I’d recommend like a MT ET Street S/S
Down South Racing Its auto I am running MT ET streets SS atm since that's what the guys PBD told me to run when I got my tune from them. They told me if it was manual to use the ET Street R not S/S since they are harder on the trans/drivetrain w.e u want to call it. But was curious to see if these tires would be good the ones I have now hook great but can't drive in the rain lol thats why I asked.
GT/CS_Coyote then these would be a great option! And for 100$ a piece (give or take 15$ on different sites) you can at least try them and if they don’t work, it’s a 200$ loss 🤷🏻♂️ not to say that’s pocket change but it’s not much in the grand scheme of things. Especially in terms of tires
Shouldn't you have wider tyres in the back
Do you have problems with head room? Do you have leather or cloth seats? I'm 6'4 and I have trouble fitting.
In a Mustang or Camaro if you are taller than me 6ft you will have trouble unless you go with a Challenger or Charger you will always brush your hair against the headliner
@@jasonreyna7615 My head is bent down and bounces off the roof like a hard boiled egg.
@@JohnJones-cg2xm that sucks man I have a mustang and a Camaro SS if anything the Stang has maybe 1 inch more room for me than my SS does I never hit and the seat is all the way down
How many miles do you have on your car ? And what do you average per year ?
22K miles. I haven't had the car a compete year yet. So my guess is about 25K per year
WHATS THE WIDEST TIRE YOU CAN GO ON A S550 2015 MUSTANG PP??
On the stock rear wheel which is a 19x9.5 you can go up to a 285 without issues, people have ran 305’s but they bulge
:-( they don't make them for 2016 GT's - i wanted 295-35-20's or 285 or even stock 265 but they don't have them.
Where did you get them for 100. Inflation (tire pun) has them to 135 140
To get them installed in my ecoboost all 4 is 1,200
will the rear tires still fit if my mustang is lowered?
tyler frank the only spring I know will is a drag spring as it’s only a .5 in drop.. my guess is no for anything other than that or maybe a minimum drop spring! My suggestion is call whatever company made your springs and ask them if they know!
I need 60ft times for those? I had Indy 500's on my 2011 GT but i never got to take it to the track with them. I totaled my stang on the 2nd 😔 I had just bought the tires on the 17th of last month. Looking at getting a 2014 and thinkng of getting the Indy's again. But you have me interested in these too!
best 60 ft time so far is a 1.91
These tires hook good
Did they hook on street
Wonder if this would work with my 2016 RS3
How much horse power is your Mustang making?
@@davidsongco9390 Roush said 670hp but thats not to the wheels.
Looks pretty good man. Would look better tho with 295 or 305 on the rear.
Daily driving how does your gearing feel ?
Suuuuuuuuuper long on those tires
I love them on my Clk55
Do you think 295/45/18 would fit on a s550 2019 with a eibach lowering kit
On the front or rear?
Rear
It should
Alright thanks
@@trueboycole2675 Any updates? Did they fit?
Firestone Indy 500
I love my p zeros not for drag racing though
Some drag springs would make your car look nasty! In a good way
cookymunster probably gonna go BMR drags this winter
With the tire set up you have right now those would look great you’re gonna have a classic muscle car rake look
What is the best 60ft?
1.91
Mine is 1.83 on Pirellis
Pirelli lasted me 10k miles, a few launches no more than 10, and a few hard acceleration no more than 60 mph. my scatpack couldn’t get traction either, i was gonna buy Michelins because they are cheaper than the pirelli my car comes with and are better tires😂, ill give atturo a try since they advertise to be better than most brands and are cheaper
Did you lower your car ?
Hadn’t at the time but have since. BMR drags
Down South Racing are you still running the same rear tires with your lower car and do you have spacers on the rear as well?
Im not a fan of white but damn that thing looks badass
Thanks brother
Couple videos? Lol i just saw one
How wide are rear rims?
10 inches wide
So you are telling me you get 20,000 miles on those tires ? Dude . . . On my p-zeros and Michelin only lasted me no more than 7k miles wtf . . . Am I driving too spirited ? Lol
Why does it say these are suv tire lol
Because they technically are lmao
The atturo or firehawk are suv
No not use atturos as a everyday tire on your Stang. They will make your 2015+ mustang handle like crap. Now the best tire for your dollar are the Firestone Indy 500, they will change you car completely if you are still running stock tires. Do not waste your money on Continental tires. Back again, Atturos are good for the drag strip only.
I think you should refund those turn signals 😂
PP2 S550 MUSTANG'S HAVE 305/30'S ON ALL 4 MY MAN
My PP2 S550 came with 275s
Adam Johnson Do you have stock Performance pack wheels ??
Gurinder Singh yeah
Wrecked my 2012 5.0 in the rain with these tires. Wet traction is horrible, beware!!
I have them all around my car and done 80 on the highway in the rain these do really good In the rain
@@Krystopherbyers23 I'm just speaking from my personal experience. I got a new mustang and run Michelin pilot sport 4S's and think they are a much better tire in all weather
hsucduw well I can’t afford them ... well I can I just they they are a good enough tire until I wanna go a slick or something
@@Krystopherbyers23 no worries, just trying to help out fellow mustang enthusiasts. 👍
hsucduw I love mustangs but more of a mopar guy just wanted to see everyone input on them being as tho I think I’m going be about 600 win I get my car dynod can’t really find no hellcats or nothing with them
Says he drives in snow...while having a southern accent of some type. That's not snow, those are just flurries. Edit: contents fine, just disputing his snow experience.
In Southeast KY we get up to 8-10 inches during winter at times. Not a blizzard but other than people who have to- my comment back would say who tf even drives in a blizzard? I’ve driven over 2 hours in 6 inches of snow at 30 mph just to get home in my car. No issues
@@DownSouthRacing Well I live in Wisconsin where there's snow on the ground half the year...people tend to get proud of the difficult things they endure, would not of expected Kentucky to keep snow on the ground often. I've been super disappointed by my P zeros when it's less than 50* out, thinking about switching to all seasons even though it's a "summer car".
MICHELIN PILOT SPORT 4'S MY MAN PERIOD DUDE
How is the rain performance? I know they are good in summer. I live in St Louis, weather is unpredictable here.
@@saby8765 ive been watchign guys in shelbys in snow running the summer 4 s
17 GT and supercharged, they preform very good in wet conditions as long you don’t hit it hard
saby8765 terrible in the rain
So you planned on making an advice video on tires proformance and ext!!Then I hear you say you always want your better set of tires on the front!! On a rear wheel drive Muscle Car People!! Ok The reason you rotate them is because when you drive a rear wheel car the tread on tires burn up faster than the front do so rotating them at the right time will extend the life of your wheels?! And this guy doesn't know that!?? I like the guy I am not trying to hate on him! O shit if any stupid brain washed psychopath trys to say something I will educate you and take you to school!!
I miss the era of $100 tires. Just like in 2009 and 2010 when Dems held the House, Senate, and presidency, they printed money out of control, drove inflation through the roof, ran its into a recession, and skyrocketed prices.
