At $2k to $3k a set I am glad that most cars I've bought were already on wheels I could live with.

Man, this is ridiculous. I’m paying to put a 4TH, that’s not a typo, 4Th set of tires on my car after 22,700 miles. I don’t remember doing a single burnout on this set. Is it these high performance tires are soft? Just Goodyear’s?

Why do you need a soft tire for all season driving? You surely aren't driving on a race track every day.

of course not. Never took the car. I’d just kill my self out there. This mofo’s drive very fast down here on the non-professional tracks. There are some serious drivers on the track all the time, even the noob races.

We have a group of original 2015 Scat Pack Shakers owners that discuss everything. My first set l went with the general consensus was within the group, the F1’s. The second set l asked in this or the old thread. Same basic opinions. Still rolling with the F1’s.

Some have modified their cars to get the wider tires. I’m keeping my car in the same state as when it rolled off the factory floor. So that’s not an option for me. I have the widest tires on it without risking damage to my car from the tires hitting the body.

I like the softer tires because it handles better. I’ve never had a high performance car before. Want to get the full experience of handling. But, if l have go through 4 sets of tires with <23K Miles....... might have to consider a not so soft tire set next time.

That's the price of having 500+ horse power and needing to try and get it to the ground.

And they aren't going to warranty any worn out tire on that car. No way no how

ROFL again any dealer trying to get tires warranteed on that car is going to get laughed off the phone.

Especially when its his 3rd set in 22k.

Especially is its just the rears ROFLROFL

correct, I’m not getting a warranty for tires on my car. I don’t know the exact rules, just that my car is excluded. Not just excluded but according to the tire guy the last time i bought tires......no ****ing way excluded.:)

yeah the gear heads in the group say the harder tires take away from the performance and increase the risk of losing the grip on the road.

Aren't they staggered too?

no idea. They are not “all season” tires. They are the upgraded tires from the all seasons.

You go to a non franchised dealer and he can do the same but he has to hold the tires until his credit comes in. Since he is at risk, he won't adjust them.

I didn't recall him saying they were just the rears?

Read post 3855 and your line he posted.

Search this thread. We discussed it before

Nope I'm not going to go search for the tire info...

Good for about 2500 -3500 miles of real use. He is actually doing well at this point to be on 4th set in 22,000 miles.

You left out where he quoted you

So you are getting about 7k miles on soft tires?

That's honestly really good. Most I hear are definitely under 5k and many in the 2-3k range. You could go up in hardness a bit (Summer tires) and maybe push about 12k out and not loose much performance since you aren't tracking the car anyway. That's what I would do.

according to my fellow owners, you go up any higher you have to modify the car. Some went to the 255’s and reported the tires hitting the car.

I have essentially the same car and I push it pretty hard. I went up to 275s all around and they have great grip even with a harder compound tire. I'm sure those stick like glue, but I'd really give consideration to finding some new rubber that meets your needs.

As a fellow owner, that's not true. People may have gotten some ****ed up offset on their wheels but the tires themselves are not the problem.

just going off what the gear heads said. l know a helluva lot more than l did 2 years ago, but I’m still a big time noob. Reading that from people freaks me out to upsize especially when I’m happy with my handling.

I can put it in launch mode and hit 0-60 in 4.1 seconds. I don’t need to put big fat tires on my car so I can hit 3.9.

I understand, completely. For what it's worth, I'm telling you that 275s are possible with no modification to the fender liners, brakes, or anything else in there. I'd be happy to send you a picture tomorrow. I even put them at all 4 corners so that I can do a full rotation. If you trade width for the super soft compound you can maintain your traction and start saving money.

I show it as the bigger tire. He said it was a Scat Pack...

Life would have been easier if I had better info....

https://s13.postimg.org/bzhk72nuf/1_...odyear.com.png

The Goodyear fitment tool is wrong I put in 2015 Challenger Scat Pack and got the 275 tire size from the SRT.

When you said 245's that makes it an RT. Scat Pack which does makes the F1 Supercar an optional tire choice.

Depending on the wheel width, I personally would mount the 275's as it is a perfect 0+ fitment.

The problem is Goodyear only offers 2 tires in that size both all seasons (which have mileage warranties) so maybe some Michelin's?

VENTUS V12 EVO2 175ea 0

PILOT SPORT 4S 360ea 6 Years / 30,000 Miles

PILOT SPORT 4 445 ea 6 Years / 30,000 Miles

EXTREMECONTACT SPORT 238ea 6 Years / 30,000 Miles

All three are rated at close to 50% longer life I'd bolt the Continentals and see what they do.

I agree with what Indian Chief said, you should have done this the first time you bought tires and saved your money and probably handle better too.

Looks like the cars fully loaded with a few nice toys.

He may be right but it was because as you increase the width you must shorten the sidewall. A 255/45zr20 is about 3/4 inch taller than a 245/45zr20.

I asked for a conformation of tire size, you eventually furnished that and as I said Goodyear's data base is incorrect. Goodyear has the tire as being a 275/40ZR20 and there are no F1 supercar tires in that size.

If I would have known the size of the tires or that Goodyear's site was incorrect things would have been easier.

Oh. And that warranty being excluded because of the car is total bullshit. The only warranty on that tire is for defects. Period.

l wouldn’t be right anyway since l don’t know shit about technical stuff on cars.

You guys know the details forward and backward. My expertise is in another area that allows me to indulge my love of cars even if l don’t know the details.

I got around 10k out of soft touring tires, like Nitto 555r and Toyo TQS. Now that I'm running a real soft tire I got sound 4k out of my MT ET streets, and hoping for about three same out of my Hoosier Drs. Gotta pay to play man.

This is my 4th set of tires but I also burned through an additional 2 rear tires within a month after I reached 500 miles first. Doing doughnuts, burnouts etc. Taking friends and family for rides in the new rig. I had more fun doing that than any ride at Disney. Money well spent.

No shit? I got <1500 miles each on 2 sets of MT ET's and they were done. Then again my car doesn't hook worth a shit. :D

I went to Nitto drag radials and have over 3000 miles on them right now and they look pretty good. Of course I've been a little easier on the car the last few years than I was before it was painted etc...

What does every one think of this option?

EAGLE F1 ASYMMETRIC
Max Performance Summer
Size: 265/40R20 104Y XL

the tire is slightly shorter yet wider than the 245's

the speedo will almost dead on

SW. .TW.. D". rpm
10.7" 9.5" 28.4" 737
9.6" 8.7" 28.7" 729

loses only .3 of height
rotates 8 more revs a mile
speedo is off .76 MPH 65 mph (104.61 km/h) 64.24 mph (103.39 km/h)

I think for what Goodyear offers is your best bet staying sticky and going larger.

l went around an on ramp today that’s posted at 35mph @75mph and it felt like it was on a rail. The car felt like part of the road, no leaning etc. that heavy car, big hp and new tires made the ride feel like you were on a straightaway.

That may be the most weight the car can handle but that car alone does not weigh that much. 4233 lbs so 44-4500lbs with driver which is more than my V8 Mercedes 500E (3770lbs) and it's a tank.

GVW is with 4 adults and luggage.

Most of the gear heads in our group attribute the fantastic handling to the weight of the car. It’s got enough HP to make up for the weight. Most of those who kept their engine stock are reporting that with drag radials they get 3.9 0-60 and sub 12 second 1/4 mile times.

The 2017 Scat Pack Shakers comes with the Hellcat 275R40/20 tires and wheels. 9.5 inch tires with a 10 inch clearance. My 2015 SPS has a 9 inch clearance.

Hey guys I have a problem. I looked for the motor the other day to my car, but I couldn't see anything. It was just like a front trunk. Just more places to store things. I'm kind of worried.

2015 SRT comes with the 275/40ZR20s The RT's come with the 245/45's. Is the RT and SRT set up differently in the same year?

I didn't go searching for clearance but could you explain what are you calling "clearance" ? (opportune moment for an "airplane" joke)

Clearance = space between tire and the wheel well, the body of the car. What else would it be in the context of what’s being discussed?

I am fuzzy on what you mean when you say you have a 9" clearance and your tire is 9.6" wide just as the specs I gave earlier. The way I see you seeing this is: My tires that are on my car don't fit. They are .60 too wide

It's pretty cool, it's just an S 85 though, but it's still plenty of fast. Love the regenerative brakes and how it just "goes" without having to shift even when you are already going 60 mph etc.

Auto pilot makes long trips and stop and go traffic way more tolerable. It's amazing how much I trust it already, at least on the highway. It's a huge car though. Hard to get in parking spaces and maneuver in tight areas sometimes. Probably going to downgrade to a Model 3 in a couple of years since there are no CPO Model 3 options yet. Have a rule about only buying gently used cars.

What’s your favorite part about the car?

The acceleration?

Or the pussy it’s getting you?

ROFL I don't know if girls really care about Teslas. I only get guys that look like Lewdogs trying to talk to me about the car when I stop somewhere.

I've been with my gal for going on 9 years, I could drive an old beat up Ford Pinto and she wouldn't GAF. Probably just a fun waste of money.

I may have to hire you to do an LS swap in my car one day. :D

Ive contemplated it before but think I am going to procharge or turbo my big small block and roll with it until I explode it then go LS.

When you are ready to go LS give me a shout. I've done a couple swaps

Oooh no. Im only a helper. I did completely assemble my T/A motor, and have helped out a ton, but I cant do one on my own~

We have a good ol boys shop out here, and we populate it with a bunch of us good ol boys, and we do racecar crap, but I wouldnt be able to do anything without someone much more experienced guys holding my hand.

Where did you find 200 more ponys? I thought those were about 1000 and yes, bad ass.

Yes, I understood and Hennessy always has bumps for bucks but 200 over their numbers? I recall the Venom was up in those numbers but there really isn't any caddy left by then. I think the doors may be stock on the outside....

I used to build 325 HP NA Nissan L28 engines. There is a point when just like 2 more feet on a yacht gets to be stupid $$$ so does each HP.

Sadly, there’s a bit of chrome on them but just the lips. Can’t post pics from my phone.
