  • Tim.ocon replied to the thread 295/35R18 Michelin PS2.
    That is kind of what I had been thinking. Michelin recommends no less then a 10 inch wheel with a 295 but I wasn’t sure if that was a hard fast rule or more of a suggestion (see full post)

    Someone locally has a set of 4 of these tires for sale for a very good price. I’ve spoken to one person who has run these on the track and they had a good experience with them. Wondering if others have had a similar experience.my other...
  • Tim.ocon replied to the thread Bang for buck camber adjustment.
    Buy once cry once. That is a good way to look at it as well. Does Vorshlag still make the camber plates for the s197 new or would I have to find them used (see full post)
  • Tim.ocon replied to the thread Bang for buck camber adjustment.
    I appreciate it but my guess is shipping them to me would be more expensive then me just buying them with me being in Canada and all (see full post)
  • Tim.ocon replied to the thread Bang for buck camber adjustment.
    I had actually considered doing this! My only concern was not being able to adjust it later if I decided to change the setup but I guess I could just buy camber plates at that point (see full post)
  • Tim.ocon replied to the thread Bang for buck camber adjustment.
    id seen lots of people talking about them. unfortunately they are quite a bit out of my budget (see full post)

    Im definitely not fast. In the same car I’m 6 to 7 seconds slower then my dad around the track (dad runs a 1.19 on a good day) I think the continentals are definitely going to be the answer is I decide with going with a single set but I’m leaning... (see full post)

    I finally bought and tested out the roof rack and it worked flawlessly. It's a Yakima product that I got at etrailer.comhttps://www.etrailer.com/roof-2012_Ford_Mustang.htmInstallation was easy. I didn't take pics because there's already a...

    I had been looking at the cup 2 but unfortunately they don’t make them in the correct width in an 18 inch tire which is the wheel size I currently have. The Falkens are something I’ll have to look into (see full post)
  • Tim.ocon replied to the thread Budget street/hpd tires.
    I think 2 sets is the answer. This is the consensus lots of people I’ve talked to have come to (see full post)
  • Tim.ocon replied to the thread Budget street/hpd tires.
    This is the conclusion I have come to aswell. I have a set of Goodyear eagle f1s that I think I’ll be running on the street and I’ll find a 200TW track tire (see full post)
  • Tim.ocon reacted to Dave_W's post in the thread Budget street/hpd tires with Like Like.
    For someone starting out track days, I recommend a tire that has good heat tolerance rather than outright pace. To be able to learn car control skills easily, you need a tire that can handle being driven reasonably hard for a full session and is...
  • Tim.ocon replied to the thread Budget street/hpd tires.
    I had been talking to Cornerz and his contis would only get him one season of street and track use. Are there any other tires that may be more durable (see full post)
  • Tim.ocon posted the thread Budget street/hpd tires in Road Racing Forum.
    Looking into what tires I should buy for a good street tires and decent track/autoX tire. This will be my first season for lapping so I’m almost certain tires won’t be my limiting factor in lap times. Looking for something durable good for street...
