do it soon prices are climbing like crazy on used cars

yeah these are great I did many videos on this tire few years ago on my red GT350 when this tire first came out.

these are so much better on the street than those F1 the F1 really loose grip after a few thousand miles and in the rain are sketchy as hell

check my IG feed i posted a video yesterday

Have you tried the Continental Extremecontanct? In my experience I found they grip better in the dry (I dont do wet driving), the feeling in the steering - while small - is better than the PS4, to me it feels more like a performance tire than a PS4 but it still has street tire characteristics, and also I'm in love with how the sidewall looks and curves it's beautiful

if you drove on the cup2 on our roads i think you would have regretting buying the car it was good you swapped tires before even driving it. So far the new springs are amazing and the car rides better than the original springs. Il report in a new video soon.

Hi Jim yeah run flats on any car are just an awful decision OEM continue to make in the NYC area all they do is cause cracked and bent wheels. When I get all my cars on all 4 corners I simply use 2 my two low profile AC Hydraulic Floor jacks. I should do a video on this now that you mention it.

yeah the cup2 is the absolute worst time i ever had in my life for where I drive and live. is this dependent on roads and conditions im not sure but I have spoke to guys in AZ, FL and areas with smooth roads and they also had bad things to say about them for frequent driving.

Hi the tire dressing is all manufactured we are scheduled to bottle end of this month the delay has been these new dispenser caps we are trying to get. We also will be releasing the new Auto Fanatic Money Maker 3 in 1 Polish this stuff literally will blow your mind and it will replace the Secret Weapon product. visit the IG feed for demo clips on both

@@autofanaticcars thanks so much Phil!

oh yeah those GY are also dangerous on most roads and in certain temps. I understand manufactures do this for performance figures but they need to maybe offer us options on tires when buying cars. Now GM is going that on the C8 vette and some other manufactures are as well.

they ride so much better as well the cup2 were brutal around here. We should meet up one day love to check the Mach 1 out. Did you get the 10 speed or 6 speed?

@@autofanaticcars 6 Speed, like $DEITY intended. I admit to being helped by the computer on downshifts. Would be delighted to meet. Lemme see if I can find your contact info online. I’ll use the subject line “Mach 1 guy”

great idea NC has some nice areas, i have not checked out Wilmington

I can attest that Long Island roads are among the worst out there!

yeah if your climate and roads are good then I would keep the Cup2 as well but for me it was awful. Where do you live by the way curious?

@@autofanaticcars Central Valley California

Those are great tires, they were out of them so we spent more for Cup 2s the other day, you will love them...

Good choice!

I would love to track my CLA but I’m a bit nervous as it would be my first time 😅

Good to know!

check your alignment i bet your toe is way out

we are lucky to even get what they are making with the manufacturing shortages globally my tires took months to get because of the rear sizes. I have another set on order for my Alfa since July and now the date got pushed into 2022 which is insane.

Ford has horrible build and paint since 1964 it will never change, thank the Union Workers who slap them together.

500+ miles so far on them

Those mold release agents are horrible when you clean them with a tire cleaner, makes the rubber get white stains all over it, use brake cleaner or mineral spirits to get those white stains off.

will do i am super careful with these lugs as they can cause major headaches. I did a video on that few years ago it was a nightmare to get a seized lug off after a tire swap the shop overshot the lug and ruined the threads it was a disaster. did you do those lugs on your GT350R and do they have the proper seat for the carbon wheel inserts?

Thanks I'm going to look into this but damn are they more expensive than I thought. Didn't think lug nuts could be $270 + shipping but I assume that's cause they are titanium and half the weight.

After a tire shop destroyed the OEM lugs I purchased the acorn style, it keeps the original look also I really didn’t want an open style lug nut. Yes they are expensive and very lightweight.

My advice is just buy a second set of wheels and you can even go 20 after owning my R over 3 years the carbon wheels are nothing but a headache to get tires mounted etc nobody wants the liability touching them . Il never buy a car with carbon wheels ever again

once we do it and settle I will let everyone know but for now its hush hush

Do you live in a warmer climate? Curious how cold you have taken them out on.

yeah on the NY roads the Cup 2 are the absolute worst tire i ever had in my life on any car. I wish they would make these tires an option on cars because Porsche, Mercedes AMG and other brands put these as OEM and it makes the cars so unsafe on most public roads.

custom alignment currently

yeah these are great on the street and rain and colder temps. if you switch to a Conti the steering gets really slow and squishy.

not really sure because i had many sets of 30 series P4S on my 2017 red GT350 and did not see any issues daily driving it

Thxs Phil

he did i noticed a very small aesthetic difference doing those sizes than the OEM sizes but what really bothers me is how tires can be the same size but physically smaller or larger and this drives me nuts. Just ran into this on my BWM M3, had Michelin Pilot All Seasons that looked awesome, switched to the P4S and now they look small and I need big spacers now to fill the gap. I think there is some weird stuff going on with how tires are made these days.

@@autofanaticcars ​ Yes, thanks, I'm looking at the 295/305 for my carbons. Is there anyway to see the pictures?, i've scoured the internet , forums etc with no luck. As to tire sizing, you are right, the standards aren't really standards at all. Its frustrating. You really have to dig into the data on each tire on tire rack. For instance , Im getting ready to do a set of Conti ECS 2 in 305/325 on a set of signature wheels because the deal is so dumb good from my buddy that works at Continental. They get like 45-50 percent off 12 tires a year as an employee right on tire rack with their unique login. The ECS have changed tread width just in the new revision alone. The ECS 02 in a 325 is 11.4 while the 305 in a PS4S is 11.5!!!!! Prior ECS was 11.8 in same size tire. Crazy. If you haven't read this article by Billy Johnson, its explains why all these "metrics" that are used by Tire companies are really not to be trusted at face value. You have to do your research. motoiq.com/how-to-properly-select-and-size-tires-for-performance/

i kinda like the OEM lug look in stainless as its very unique and identifies a true GT350R as many clones you can spot right away just off the lugs and lug pockets.

thanks for sharing as i mentioned i never had these tires long enough to report back on that i think the most ive driven on these was about 3000 miles with my red GT350

on the GT350R they use a 30 series profile

seen this on a GT but never on a Shelby, Shelby American makes their own forged wheels in a polished finish which might be something to look at.

Get the stock rims powder coated to the finish you desire

car is already lowered with camber dialed in that is next video

Yes I use my Snap On CDI torque wrench

Thank you!!!

these are the OEM carbon fiber wheels

@@autofanaticcars thank you Sir

thats been done now over a week tires are spotless no more release agent. mineral spirits is my solution for 30+ years

@@autofanaticcars Oh I Know. It's that someone else in the comments mentioned the Mold release agent and it gave me PTSD for the Harley Davidson tires I clean all the time. Lol

Sold blue R and looking to buy another one now in red

@@autofanaticcars OMG!!!!! No!!!!!!!! Why?????? Dude I Loved That Shelby!!! Kona Blue Is Rare. You’ll never get her back now.

oh yeah now NY is giving $1000 tickets for cars with loud exhausts which means every car I own is at risk.

yeah the roads in the NYC Tri State SUCK!! When We move in 2022 this is one thing i will never miss.
