Assuming you have either of the non PP GT wheels, I wouldn't go wider than the 255/40s that are on there. Those rims are only 8.5" wide.
Edit: sorry for the redundant post Dave.
This has been a complaint going back to the new S550 in 2015. Selectable drive modes, steering, and the later active exhaust never save when you turn the car off.
You can however, use the custom button on the S650 for your preferred exhaust setting.
Actually all '64 1/2s were not titled as '65s. Most were, but there is documentation that shows some were titled as '64s. There was also a lot of Ford marketing referring to them as 64 1/2s . They were however all vin stamped as '65s.
Not arguing with you, just sharing a fun fact. We can go...
Well, the 2015s were badged 50th anniversary, and the 2025s are badged 60th anniversary.
EDIT:
weirdly the 2004s were badged 40th. So Ford hasn't been very consistent.
I used to absolutely hate Pirellis. I always found them very noisy, crappy in the rain and had short tread life.
But the new P zero versions are actually very highly rated. Even better than the factory Continental pro contacts. 🤷♂️🤞🏻
I assuming you're tracking your car? Oil life goes down fast when you are doing hot laps. Same with the rear diff.
Otherwise, that is a really aggressive and arguably wasteful maintenance schedule.
40 sidewalls are always going to have a more forgiving ride than 35s. Generally Continentals are great tires. But the all season version that the factory uses on these car are just OK in terms of traction and wear. I personally think they ride nice and are reasonably quiet. But you could bo...
Those 20s are nice for sure. When I bought my car, I test drove a premium that had them. To my butt dyno they seemed slightly harsher than the 19" contis. But not everyone cares about these things.
Because Ford owns Motorcraft and its cheaper to use and makes them more money. Keep in mind 80% of dealer profits come from service.
That said, I think Ford does offer a full synthetic upgrade, but it's really pricey.
Most full synthetic oil changes outside the dealer will run you $100-$120. 👍🏻
