Has anybody used these? They come in the same sizes at the Trofeo RS

The 295 PS4S has 1.2" more tread width than the 305 Pirelli Trofeo RS, so you are not going to get that "stretch in the sidewall."
The 305 PS4s has 1" more tread than the 315 Pirelli Trofeo RS, but these two are pretty close in tire height.
LOL, I forgot I posted this video

But that was a Porsche.
Anybody use these for track days?
I was thinking about getting some with the tread width and tire height matched as closely as possible to the Trofeo RS that came on my car (ignoring the 350mm, etc., just match up the specs).
They are a lot cheaper than the Trofeo RS.
YouTube reviews on track...
LOL, they start out with only 6/32 of an inch of tread. That is 3/16" - not even a quarter inch. 50% gone at 5000 km is pretty decent, considering it is a 180 Treadwear tire.
There is no emergency to replace it.
I have over 4000 miles on mine, (about 6500 kilometers), including 2.5 hours...

285/35/19 are about 3/8 of an inch less thread width than your stock rear tires, and about 2/5 of an inch taller. They are 1/5 of an inch wider than...
I thought we covered this entirely in another thread, and it was shown that Sport and Track are not the same exhaust settings.
Also, while 3db is technically a doubling of "power," the human ear does not perceive 3dB as doubling in volume. Acoustic energy doubles, but it takes about 10dB for...
Ugh, irritating. Every time I drive over a bump, something is now rattling over there. I checked the glovebox to see if anything was in it that could rattle, but no. It also sounds higher up than that, although it is difficult to pinpoint the location. This started three days ago.
Am I...
I wonder what his opinion is going to be about removing the strut tower brace, or whether he knows yet that it will not clear the blower. The Steeda strut tower brace, a much more robust unit than Ford provides, is currently visible in the engine bay from 2:00 to 2:15
After owning this car for months, I am not a fan of the Sport Mode for my Dark Horse. I assume the programing is the same for other Mustangs. Sport Mode seems to me more to be marketing for buyers than "sporty" driving. You almost cannot cruise part throttle in that mode.
It has to do with...
It does not sound like this is on a racetrack. On a track, I cannot think of a situation where the transmission would drop 2 to 3 gears in the middle of a curve.
So I do not do anything to address it.
Have you been to a track? If not, would you consider looking for an HPDE track day near...
I just realized we are all missing the point - he is talking about 20 inch wheels, not a 20 aspect ratio.
Presumably he means 295R35/20
He ditched his excellent Dark Horse handling package staggered 10.5 and 11, 19 inch wheels and Trofeo RS tires and put on some aftermarket 20 inch combo with...
Is there such a thing as 295/20?
Also, which tire? They are not all the same, as we all know. A 305R30/19 can have vastly different tread width, tire height, and section width even within the same manufacturer, sometimes the same tire in the same size with two different applications, much...
