In my case I was merely having fun. I cannot have that technical discussion with you because I do not know very much about tire design and know absolutely nothing about this particular aspect of tire design.
Is anybody coating the flared fender in front of the rear wheel, or is that not necessary on these cars?
It just looks like an area that would be struck a lot, since it sticks out, not as much as a 911 Porsche, but it does stick out.
Ok, finally found it. I wish all of your posts about this were in one thread.
Mine is at the dealer right now - coolant smell, having to add coolant several times now.
I don't drive that much.
I have less than 11K miles on a 2024.
Now that some time has passed, however, I have had to fill the coolant 3-4 times. It is obviously leaking from somewhere.
Four hours later I have heard nothing.
They normally change the oil very quickly, so they must be looking it over for the source of the coolant leak.
I guess I need to go find mustangnoob's thread about his engine replacement.
krisk tracks his car.
krisk recorded his oil temperature as displayed on the dash.
The temperature was higher than 280.
His car was not in limp mode.
He posted about it in this thread, complete with the inferred oil temperature reading.
Is there some limp mode tied to oil temperature...
It is at the dealer right now for an oil and filter change.
"Smell the coolant?" I asked, as the service tech walked up to the car, with the hood open.
"Yep," he answered.
I described to him how I had to keep filling it up to the max line.
He informed me that it would be "weeks" before they...
Sigh. Our cars don't, either. See post #96. I quoted it in the post you quoted if you don't want to go back and look at the original. That was the point of my post.
LOL - I do not even know what your question to me was, and it should be rather obvious that my post was comedy.
You to the other poster who asked a question: "See above where it says 'hypothetical.'"
Me: Quote the other poster's question and insert the word "hypothetically."
Come on, man! 🤣
So the car does NOT go into "limp mode" at 280° inferred oil temperature.
Now check out this video about oil temperatures.
It's pretty short but very informative.
robvas posted this video back in January, but it is worth a repeat, especially since Google search results for oil temperature...
We have to get to a point where the first reaction of American citizens is not to hide and pretend not to have arms.
Otherwise, for future generations the rights we enjoy today will be like the hidden millions of unregistered war trophy machine guns hidden in the attics of baby boomers across...
So, hypothetically, do you have a specific reason you want to run tires in the opposite direction from what they are designed for? Put simply, they perform better when installed as designed.
