That oughta shave 2.3 secs off your mow time.

+TheStraightPipes you should take that thing the grid life bro.

Or just go full swedish turbo tractor!!!! www.wimp.com/swedish-farmer-puts-a-turbo-engine-into-his-tractor/

savagegeese the only grid life I know is mowed 90 degrees at a time

Well duh it's a track-tor

Unfortunately, then your rotors become your tires and they don't work as well. I like your enthusiasm tho

Haha!

You can make a hovercar by mounting a catback system. One cat in each wheel arch, feet up. ... The cheapassed version of this is buttered toasts with the buttered side up. But it's less dynamically reactive and doesn't handle as much weight. Also, if you mount the toasts on the catbacks and plug them on the axles, you get more acceleration. That assembly will spin by itself and provide additional propulsion.

Eeewwwwwwwwwwww 😖

Control yourself lol

yuck

Did the manager of the joint forget too close the doors? LOL

Slow down there turbo...

ccmaster86 lol wouldn't even be close

Ironically EE videos are more basic. I think Savage knows more about cars. When it comes to modding at least.

JayTac1 more basic? There is typically a lot more math and theory in EEs videos (because engineer. Duh.). Savagegeese is more of a technician. Not an engineer. If anything, he talks about basic shit that everyone but the ill informed knows, not the other way around.

Andrew Davison It's the other way around for me. He puts a lot of math into stuff people already know. When it comes to his videos on mods I've never taken away anything I didn't already know. There are more complex engineering channels out there like Kyle Drives. Complexity however does not sale. You have to dumb down for max views.

considering engineering explained managed to crash into a stationary wall/shelf, I believe the answer is right in front of us...

Agreed! Very informative video!

SG isn’t selling tires. 😄

Totally agree. Very useful info here

Did he mean strip mall and had a Freudian slip?

Sticky ones are not good at all

Nice

Double bag it.

S2kDude36 😂.... tread wear is your trigger points for s2k wear and tare design? What about the replaceable subframe segments? Imo this is the most clear notion that Honda expected s2ks to be driven hard. At that time only exotics and race cars used that kind of frame; because when a catastrophic coalition happens the first thing they check is subframe integrity. If a subframe is discovered to be damaged. The cost to get the car back in race trim is a fraction of what full body frame replacement would cost. Fyi most s2k na race built frames use 30%-60% of the factory components. The after market has a very hard time out engineering jdm/oem parts. So yes the s2k is built like a Swiss watch. 🥂 cheers.

S02, S001 or RE050A are not really 140 treadwear. By modern standards they would be about 240 to 300 treadwear. The modern day S007A is rated at 240 treadwear by Bridgestone, but in reality it's the same 300 treadwear as a Eagle F1 Super Sport or Pilot Sport 4S. [The US-market S04 is indeed a step harder than the S007A though as you say.] :) [Tirerack classing S007A as an extreme tyre is wrong.]

hahah

But do those rock chips come with salsa.

It’s a great tire. My B8 A4 felt like a new car when I first threw them on. Hard to switch back to all seasons.

@@CAT15407 My set of tires described in the comment above where due for replacement this spring. 315 WHP and FWD makes 2-3 years of life from a set of summer tires pretty good in my opinion. There was only one option when it came to replacing my 225 wide PS4S's, and that was the same tire but 10mm wider in a 235 as I wanted to kill the "stretch" look. I am happy as ever. I couldn't imagine going back to all seasons at this point, though I totally get it that for a lot of peoples climates and use cases it may be hard to justify summers. It would be hard to admit that and give these great tires up if I am ever in that situation!

The 4S are not the type of tire he's referring to, even though they are amazing and one of the best high performance summer tires you can buy. He is referring to a tire like the sport cup 2.

@youknowitsmetheone You are right. My comment still stands that those were my first real summer tires and transformed the car. But he is talking a little more performance oriented, perhaps. I have Falken Rt660 200TW on my 91 Miata. Those have a little more tradeoff but stupid levels warm grip!

@Harrison Davis I just ordered some 4S' for my GT350, I have been using Cup 2s for 2 years because thats what came on the car, and they truly only belong on a track. They are miserable to daily drive. Really looking forward to the 4S'

If you don't have a brembo's or have performance car in general, why on earth would you put semis on that car

@@DIgitusSmartas touge

ZippyTPinhead 30 inch rims tires don't matter in this situation

the spare around your waist ,,,,,,, :D

Tires and tits are expensive and suffer from rough use

ZippyTPinhead cumhoes, i mean kumhos

Runflats that way you don't have to change a tire while drunk..10-4

" I prefer tires to be communicative at limits" - wise, very wise.

Never had a bad surprise from my 2 sets of Tiger Paw Touring T rated shoes. They start sliding ever so gradually and give you plenty of warning to back off. Not the stickiest, but always predictable and stable!

Another interesting side effect is that for performance/competition driving your brakes can suddenly turn out to be overheating pieces of flaming shit with the big increase in tire grip.

Lol, it's not Jason's car. Jason got RE-71r's for his summer tires. This one gots Hankooks.

savage has a ap2 and jason has a ap1 same color tho. great video!

different wheels too lol

Jason could be Brian Cox's cousin LOL

+Strunz0 Cars call tirerack is an impossible situation they sell every Tire they can't be biased they can't really be straight if something sucks. When you start seeing Tire tests that are literally a quarter second or a half-second off each other it means nothing to the average person namely in a street Tire

I don't know about that - I recently went from what I thought was a pretty good tyre, a Bridgestone RE003, to a Michelin Pilot Sport 4. The Pilot Sport 4 is vastly superior in the wet - to the point where it brakes almost as well on a soaking wet road than the Bridgestone did on the dry. Given the significant difference in wet stopping difference between the two, I'll be sticking with the Michelin next time too. I think there is definitely a big difference between an average tyre and a high quality one. I think there are possibly diminishing returns as you spend more and more though - you have to find the price point. Also I think the kind of car you drive makes a huge difference - I have a large, heavy powerful vehicle - a smaller, lighter vehicle might get less returns from more expensive tyres.

Also remember there is more then just lap times tire rack often talks about weather the tire was easy to drive or difficult so for instance the Bridgestone re71r is a great tire for a really skilled driver but for most weekend Warriors that want to go the track the falken rt615k might be better since it is easier to extract more of the tire. Also like mentioned in the video the way a tire operates in a given heat range is also makes big difference even in just one sub category of tires like extreme performance tires or grand touring all seasons tires. Additionally how a tire reacts to wet dry colder cooler hotter and snowy conditions also makes a big difference

Christian Roche yes - I think the point is that the differences between the best and worst within a category (like max performance summer) is quite small. This is a highly regulated space and tires all have to conform to standard measures to qualify for each category so the differences are subtle and in some ways come down to taste more than good and bad

I'm an average enthusiast. I shaved almost 6 seconds going to RS-3's from a conti extreme contact.

Hmmm... I might do that, too. 😄

Ecadman87 I once traded in a Saab 93 (turbo) with high performance summer tires mounted on them. After the price was agreed, I then asked the dealer if he wanted my winter tires (mounted on aftermarket sports rims) for free, he said no. Oh well. I wonder how far the next owner made it before he realized changing tires was a necessity.

Sorry, but anyone who doesn't realise summer tyres are for year-round use only in warm Mediterranean climates is an idiot. Summer tyres are perfectly fine for use year round for climates like southern California, southern Australia (indeed, here in Australia, the idea of an all-season tyre let alone a winter tyre would make people puzzled!)... and yes, summer UHP they are perfectly fine for tropical climates and wet conditions in places like Florida too. Indeed, summer UHP tyres tend to be quite good in *warm* and wet conditions. It's just that some of them (e.g., Pirelli P Zero summer) are not that great in cold, wet conditions, i.e., under 7 deg C and wet, so places like England or Scotland. While at 1 deg C or less, summer tyres are not appropriate at all!

re71r are great in autocross because they don’t need a lot of heat, but they get greasy real fast on the track. A052 similar. So I don’t quite agree with some of this although the sandblast effect and less than 5k expectations yes. Other 200tw and rSpec tires may need a lot more heat, which can be difficult on a light car like a 4C or s2000 and not as much of a problem on a Camaro or Mustang.

If you're Michelin rich.

With all due respect, he never mentioned tyres in this video. A lot of talk about tires tho :-P

@@BobC59 It was very unrespectful ... 8^7

I've found that winter tires make really good summer sticky tires, but summer performance tires do horrible in winter. Yes i lose alot of tire life but $95 winter tires come with much greater tread depth than a $300 "performance" tire.

@@peterwelsh6975 Probably depends on what you mean by winter tires - a lot of variations there. I live in a place (mid-eastern US) where it can range from 0-100 degrees fahrenheit, winter to summer. I use good quality (michelin, bridgestone, BFG, etc.) "all season" tires and they are indeed great for all my driving. I live amidst what I call "the world's longest road course" - wonderful, nicely paved and usually well-maintained backroads that follow the Blue Ridge Mountains foothills. I have had several "fun cars", all of which I drive spiritedly on these roads. I 'inherited' summer tires on my '92 GT-R which I switch out to the all-seasons once it gets cold. I honestly cannot say with certainty that the summer tires are stickier - and I do push corners sometimes to the point of traction loss - so I'm skeptical. Also put some excellent summer tires on a 370Z (Nismo) to replace its original all-seasons. Felt different but again, can't say there was an obvious difference. But that car was scary to push - - It seemed to either stick or let go completely; In fact, I did full a track weekend at VIR (about six 30-minute runs per day for two days!) and once, with all nanny controls off - spun out, thankfully into a grass field. Tires may have been a little overinflated and it was hot day, but all in all, for most people's driving (including spirited runs on the backroads), I'd say anecdotally that decent quality all-season tires are absolutely fine - even for enthusiasts like me.

msbtennis You rang?

Absolutely agree. I spent $40,000 on an SLK and won't stint on cheapies - they're the only contact between you and the road, so buy the best. And don't forget that which most reviewers ignore: I have to buy this car, and I have to make these tyres last. They're all much of a much-ness in the dry, it's the rain that sorts them out and you can't beat Michelin.

But better and more interesting and delivered in a silky smooth voice.

Yep, pre wannabe car reviewer.

I prefer the math. I love Jason's approach, it sits better with how I learn personally.

engineering explained kinda sucks tbh. Lot of "on paper" truths but in reality... not so much. Like the "warm up" one. Sure cars are fuel injected nowadays, but what if its 10 degrees and your oil is the viscosity of hair gel? Start that engine, slam it into "D" before the revs drop and youre off! Lol

The BETTER engineering explained.

If you live in Flordia, South Africa, Australia etc, we don't need all-season tyres thankfully -- summer tyres are fine year round. :)

I "could" safely run summer tires where I live, but I don't want to adjust my driving style to the varying weather conditions. Plus, the tires that came with my car (Dunlop Sport Maxx RT) were absolute trash.

+MrJohnHughesHimself I like the Fiesta ST for the price and performance but it's a car that requires some work namely if you're going to track it it doesn't handle heat very well brakes are pretty weak but if it's just something you want to have fun with and kind of learn about then you should be okay with it if it was me I'd probably get a little bit older car used more mileage it was in good shape so I'd have some extra money to play with if I wanted to start changing things around

find the least expensive rwd sporty car you can. Whether it be an br/frs/86, a 200sx, or a 85 Mr2 unless you live in snow country there is no reason to go front wheel drive.

Ivan G - If you're "plowing through it" you obviously have a serious understeer problem ... Just sayin'.

Mostly ambient, but surface temps play a huge roll as well.

The temperature he is referring to is neither the road surface temperature nor the ambient temperature, it’s the temperature of the tire compound itself when the tire is in use. If you use the tire at high speed and then brake hard or change direction quickly, the rubber heats up. Since track use involves a lot of braking and directional changes, the tires can have a temperature much higher than either ambient of road surface temperature.

Jaime Munoz The recommendations for tire application is ambient temperature not operating temperature, because the average person doesn't have the ability to check their tire temps during operation.

What's farenheight?

Alan Ramsay - I don't know, but it gets a big fat "F"!

+Glatroz that was my fault I mean the graphic and I thought to myself I got to add Celsius to it and I just forgot

Don't worry about it man. Love your channel! Keep up the awesome work! You genuinely provide the best car reviews on KZfaq.

Another ISO measurements advocate here, please show just a little love to the international viewers :-) thanks.

+Mythiic I never meant buying garbage bin tires but you highlighted the point spending 30 extra a tire an make a big difference but spending an extra 140 a tire is usually a waste.

savagegeese I know. I just wanted to add my $.02 cents. I'll always spend a few more on a decent brand with good tread wear and temp ratings. For safety and handling purposes

all seasons being better? oh god

VxO4fame dryrotted kumho's are pretty terrible

Westlake/Goodride is actually the largest independent tyre manufactuer in China, interestingly enough. (By independent, I mean not associated with or in a joint venture with a foreign brand.)

Aaron Eberle what

What

Alex Gunner increased g-force turning. the oil in your sump gets all splashed on one side, your oil pump cannot pick it up. engine starve for oil. can cause damage. you need to upgrade to a dry sump system or add baffles to your oil pan

Doc. Volt the real world is not a race track though.....

Los Ojos De HotSpanish not with that attitude ;)

Blck Mach1 I'm running the newer ExtremeContact Sport and it's been a very good tire to me in autocross. If you got the DW-S rather than DW keep in mind the S is "snow" and it's not going to be as grippy in good conditions as it's standard counterpart. Edit: also the first few hundred miles is within the standard break-in period for tires so it's unfair to judge them that early

no

DW is probably the most comfortable performance tire...but holy crap the sidewalls are soft

I am. They hold great traction launching even in rain. Not the best for spirited mountain runs, but there are others out there like Indy 500’s

AK rude

you mean the mono syllabic dude?

Sure, but only if you get the tires up to the optimum temperature, which you likely won't do just driving around the streets. A limited slip differential would be more beneficial in most real world scenarios.

Limited slip differential should be more effective.

i solved that problem on my OPC with a LSD and Pirelli Pzero tires

same problem I'm having

Smaller turbo :P

I would bet a larger portion of his audience is American versus non-Americans, so he's appealing to the majority of his viewership. He would know; he has the analytics.

Tiago Ruivo just learn the conversions, it's not that hard and it's useful in normal life to be able to do this.

None in his normal life use imperial system outside the USA... I've seen this ''error'' multiple times, ''don't put metric cus majority of views is from america'' Well is about being smart enough to see in the future market, a lot of people see this kind of videos for advice, and a lot are from Europe or almost all the world, so metric is a MUST. Otherwise, we just change to someone who put it in metric. Is easy to convert? Yeah, it is but is annoying and you lose time and interest.

alelokox88 No, it’s not a “MUST”, it’s a choice, and he chooses not to do it. It’s his channel. Also, his subscription base has gone from 25k to almost 90k in a couple of years, so not only are people sticking around, new people are subscribing.

My comment was only to potentiate his chances. Besides, not even the americans seem to understand their system... pounds, stones, inches, feet... its a fkg mess.

Hey carlos, the tires that manufacturers supply are *almost* universally cheap crap - even a tiny increment in cost buys big performance gains. I think this video as about the *other* end of the spectrum, where spending gobs more buys you little useful street performance.

My car game with Goodyear Eagle F1 track tires...

Exactly. And everyone is saying buy re71 or ps4s, both of which are absurdly over expensive and have competitors that are 80-90% the performance or more for a ton less money.

I have Firestone indy 500 on a volvo c30 polestar. Saved me from rear ending someone braking to 25mph on the highway. Came within 2 inches of hitting them I have no doubt if I had my stock tires it would of been an accident. Tread wear sucks though im not going to get the 20k miles they advertised.
