Coilovers VS Tyres

[@se1z]

Interested to know why the standard OEM tyres weren't the ones that were tested, as opposed to the cheapest possible?

[@HakimElGhazouani]

se1z Yeah i agree.. The whole point isnt if better tires make a major impact.. its is other tires would make a major impact vs STOCK tires.

[@banddude121]

se1z Skews the results so no clue. Probably didn't want to upset a brand by having another product do better.

[@samdouglas32]

se1z The stock tyres on the 86 aren't great anyway; but by doing it this way it eliminates wheel size/weight as a variable.

[@Ne1ld0]

se1z Yes, Moog and Marty fucked up by not using stock 86 tires which are the same shitty tires that Toyota puts on their Prius for little grip to get better MPG.

[@garf117]

se1z Try not to look at it as stock tyres vs upgraded tyres but a car that favors suspension over a car that favors tyre. If you want to see the biggest difference in what the two can do then you find as big a gap as possible. Thats why they didnt buy cheap $400 coilover they went with BC's which run around 1,000 US dollars. This way you see if a car is faster when it reaches the limitation of the tires or the suspension first.

[@ItzRetz]

Should of gotten the lap times for a stock 86 without any modifications at all. I want to see just how much these upgrades actually benefit you.

[@OrdinaryLatvian]

"Should have", goddamnit.

[@JoeyC69]

Mighty Car Mods Do you reckon the body panels would fit my honda?

[@lancercool1992]

but why are you purposely finding cheap tires for the coilover setup instead of using stock tires

[@fabrb26]

+Wei Wang And why did they use Cheap coilovers over Bilstein, Ohlins, Penske etc... ?! Because 99% of the people will do so , cheap mods , eBay mods , shitty mods. People prefer to spent 800€ on a loud exhaust and buy budget chassis/suspension parts and tire + buy an exhaust give you a chance to get a free sick stickers too ! Sarcasm ?! Noooo way

[@lancercool1992]

Guy asked if coilovers or tires are better upgrades, nothing else, therefore the only modification done should be coilover on one car and tires on another, much logic. To add, the car has cheap coilovers, so let's put on some cheap tires to compensate, muuuuch logic

[@fabrb26]

GT86 come with shitty eco tire as well so that didn't change much imo

[@pogojayjay7583]

+Wei Wang Yup. Poor video. Bad logic.

[@lsevent]

+Wei Wang The stock tires are cheap, so it really wouldn't change anything. Same tires they use on the Prius.

[@cbremer83]

Always upgrade in this order; -tires (maybe wheels too) -brakes and/or suspension depending on how good the OEM brakes are -weight reduction (semi optional but recommended) -power This is the right order. And the safe way to do it. Way to many people go power and suspension but ignore brakes and tires. In the end, tires are everything. Everything you do is translated to through the tires. You can mod all you want and if the tires are crap, it wont matter.

[@Jake-yg9it]

+Chad Bremer I normally do weight reduction, tyre's, then power. Is that okay? That's what me and my friend did on my friends Track day VW Golf..

[@patsta8269]

Great info thanks :)

[@cbremer83]

- Jake - wieght reduction can really be done at any time, but rubber is still the most important and should be first.

[@niicckk2992]

+Chad Bremer where did they get the tyres?

[@cbremer83]

***** tires are a consumable part. If you can not afford that, you can not afford the modding in general.

[@superblanket2009]

Should've done a lap with the stock 86 for good measure

[@ehjhey7]

Kevin Tran Agreed. It's always good to have a baseline when comparing products

[@GabrielCoxYouTube]

Kevin Tran Agreed. I LOVE MCM, but the scientist in me screams at the screen during half their experiments/testing. Guys, fly me to Australia, feed me some crap tofu and I will personally assist you with proper scientific methodology.

[@Ne1ld0]

Kevin Tran Agreed. Lap done with stock 86 on stock Prius tires that they come with from factory. Coilover 86 should have had new stock Prius tires installed.

[@DMStraylight]

Kevin Tran They might not have had a car with the factory tires, and anyway, the test they did conduct answered the question the letter posed: good tires and stock suspension is faster than coilovers.

[@Ne1ld0]

DMStraylight If Moog and Marty did not have an 86 with factory tires, they should have bought them and used them on the coilover car. Reason being is the stock 86 tires are the same tires Toyota uses on their Prius. This is what everyone wanted to see. I bet the $69 tires are better than stock.

[@DogtaInc]

[@justinbuice]

Awesome! Lets see a side by side comparison of name brand coilovers verses $700 ebay coilovers

[@SirSpinalColumn]

I dunno why they downgraded the tyres from the stock hoops. Isnt this a comparison of stock tyres and good suspension versus good tyres and stock suspension? You should give the 'good tyre' car rubbish suspension then.

[@dakotahneal8110]

They're trying to sell Bridgestones

[@Hizashi25]

They did. Did you watch the video? They just put good and good together at the end to see how both affects it together.

[@SirSpinalColumn]

+Hizashi25 no they didn't. They took the standard tyres off and replaced them with literally the cheapest tyres they could find. I know stock tyres aren't usually very good but they're better than that rubbish.

[@andresilva3413]

Most people have a set of "track" tires and another set of "day-to-day" tires. So, following that line of thought, if you spent money on the coil overs(probably not the correct spelling, non native English speaker), you wouldn't have the money for a good set of tires.

[@AdurianJ]

I think they should have used 1 year old tires instead of new cheap one's as that's probably what one contemplating Tires or Coilovers has to work with !

[@singert66]

the number plate on the red 86 is just genius. TOY8T6 , o and a replaced for the 86 , in case you didnt notice :D

[@MrStreetballer5Official]

***** That sucks :/

[@jeffbeck6153]

In all reality it depends on the car you're starting with. If you have an old car or family style car that was never meant for anything sporty than a better suspension setup is going to be better no matter what rubber you have. I would suggest testing the lean of the car in corners before making a decision. Mighty Car Mods is great. Thank you for what you do.

[@akadanielmaia]

The tires upgrade is the most underrated and overviewed mod, specially if you are considering the high end one like Michelin Cup 2s

[@111222333gabe]

Why did you change the tires on the coil over 86? Wouldn't it have been better to leave it stock. Like you didn't buy the cheapest springs for the tire 86. Just wondering.

[@Ne1ld0]

111222333gabe Agreed. Moog and Marty fucked up the coilover 86 by not keeping / installing new stock tires which happen to be the same tires Toyota puts on their Prius.

[@Stang70Fastback]

111222333gabe I'm guessing they didn't have a set of stock tires offhand. Notice the wheels and tires on the car as it's driving into the shop. Though I agree they should have sourced a set of stock tires and rims for the test.

[@Rome1017Lights]

111222333gabe The one with the coilovers didnt have stock wheels to begin with. a good comparison is having the same wheels on both vehicles, which is why they switched to legacy wheels rather than whatever different wheels were on each car.

[@smileyspeedster]

111222333gabe Bridgestone being splattered all over the clip, and the cheap name one bleeped off, it makes my commercial alarm go off. I think the bridgies against oem's would not give the effect they were looking for.MCM is becoming mainstream, and we will start seeing more of this.

[@rmagic7]

Glad the end result was buy both. The reason being is that it's very hard to compare coilovers to tires. They are both key components in a vehicles handling however, they are different ingredients to the overall recipe. If you have for instance an R compound or slick tire, it will have more overall grip because of the softer compound but will in turn demand more shock than what is available through a factory valved shock. So it is vital that you to have a suspension that can handle the compound you are throwing at it. That being said, it is always better to have better shocks than tires as you aren't asking more from the shocks than what is available and a nice set of shocks will make your "lesser" tires work more efficiently and give you more out of them then what a lesser or factory shock would.

[@misaelvillalobos8317]

Its been a long time since you guys posted a video. Good to see another mighty mod car video

[@TRIVIUMDAVEX]

I feel like the car with coilovers should have kept the original tyres that are factory fitted, would have been a little more fair, but a good show of the benefits of good quality tyres over budget ones that shouldn't go near a car if honest.

[@Ne1ld0]

B1GDAV3 Agreed. Should have kept the stock, shitty 86 tires that are the same tires that Toyota puts on their Prius.

[@diogoalmeidavisuals]

Why did you guys use cheap tyres? The guy from the email doesn't need to sell the stock tyres to buy the Coilovers.

[@Ne1ld0]

***** Agreed. They should have stuck to stock tires which are the same tires Toyota uses on their Prius.

[@stevew145]

***** Its because most people blow all their money on coil overs and cheap out on tires after burning the old ones off doing skids.

[@diogoalmeidavisuals]

I doubt someone considering investing in raing tyres would buy cheap ones just to save for other parts.

[@HighVoltageJ0E]

The reason the GT86 goes sideways so much is because of those Prius tyres, the budget ones represent worst case scenario... Tyres were always going to win this, I think they wanted to show the difference between good and bad tyres mostly

[@DMStraylight]

***** It's possible neither of the 86es they used in the video had factory tires. Would have been nice to know for sure, but oh well.

[@es3502012]

Dont think thats too fair tho. Its like you either spend your money on coilovers and keep the stock tires or you go for the good tires. You guys should have used stock tires on the one with good coilovers. B/c no one would go for tires that costs 69/corner.

[@mbsnyderc]

Completely stock mixed into this would also be nice to see. It would give another great data point; how much do the upgrades improve the car, if they do at all.

[@velvetlee7539]

There is nothing more entertaining than watching the boys with English subtitles turned ON.

[@nhambayi]

Great video. You guys should do a performance comparison on the track between small wheels (14" - 15") and big ones (17"+) using the same tire on a low horsepower car like a Miata. Or even wheels of the same size but different weights. People have argued about it for so long. It would be nice to see the difference. My friends and I are building a race car 1999 318is. They want to go with 8 kilo 16s and i want 5 kilo 15s. There argument is that the extra traction will make up for the loss in acceleration. Please bust this myth!

[@norwester7018]

+Noah Hambayi Go 15's with a section width (tire) as close as you can to the 16" tire they want. If you can split the difference in weight (or stay closer to the 15's overall weight), the smaller diameter, reduced rotational mass and lower COG will ALL be a benefit. Without knowing the specs of the two wheel and tire combos it's hard to say definitively, but I wouldn't be surprised to find that the 16's won't give all that much more grip and the acceleration loss coming out of turns can cost you a LOT of time in a track environment...FWIW I've been building VW's and a few other random makes/models for track/Rally use for many many moons.

[@lejink]

Haven't watched the video yet, but I'm going to throw a guess out that tires are going to make more of a difference than coilovers will.. The prius tires aren't so great, so the grip level isn't high enough to take advantage of a stiffer suspension

[@Ne1ld0]

Dee Jay Totally agreed and I haven't watched the video yet either. I couldn't watch it after seeing that they didn't even use the shitty, stock Prius tires! WTF were Moog and Marty thinking? I bet the $69 tires were better than stock. Plus, they didn't even start out by doing a lap completely stock for total comparison.

[@Charsept]

Dee Jay I wish they'd make a pure gas Prius. I'd think about buying it then. Though I am pretty surprised to learn they use the same tires on the 86

[@FIFA2YT]

The car tyres were named " _fuck shit_ " thats why you couldnt hear it.

[@justahyundai]

The 86 is normally set up to slightly oversteer, hence the prius tires. It already has good suspension, so good tires is obviously the more important choice. For improving laptimes, that is

[@frostbite1991]

I have those coilovers on my Jeep Patriot. Absolutely amazing results with them. Stanced it out nicely with a decent ride for maybe 1.5" of travel lol. If I lift them up and soften the dampers, they ride great in town!

[@stevew145]

What about cheap tires on stock car?

[@bsfibers]

They did...

[@stevew145]

no, they did expensive tires on a stock car and cheap tires on a car with coil overs, then they did expensive tires on coil overs, but no run with cheap tires on a stock car. they completely missed the base line run.

[@bsfibers]

Oh yeah, you're right.

[@RoadsUntraveled]

Mighty Car Mods: There is no substitute :D

[@barryfields2964]

The coil overs should have at least had stock tires

[@420Patriot]

stock tires are prius tires. they made a good move

[@XtremeCookiez]

Mighty Car Mods Just a thought on the ending: Tires and suspension may not be the best first mods for every car. Some cars come with great tires/suspension stock. Then the best upgrade might be more power (think Lotus Elise). Other cars, such as a Mustang, may make great power but lack suspension (thinking more of the old solid axle models).

[@homer23422000]

[@Ne1ld0]

riiskay Yes, should have been stock 86 on the stock shitty Prius tires that 86's come with.

[@Rome1017Lights]

riiskay Ne1ld0 This is what MCM had to say about that "Good question and there's a couple of reasons: 1) If the video was for Australian audiences only it would make sense but the 86 comes with a variety of different tyre options for different territories so a 'standard' test would not be standardised for other regions, and most of our audience is actually overseas. 2) Most people in the automotive blogosphere already know what tyres come on the 86/Prius in Australia (there's so many arguments about them and online rantings from unhappy owners already) and we don't really want to get into a brand debate on screen because it's not the point of the video to simply compare tyres (We've done that already which you can see on our channel) 3) For anyone with a car that's NOT an 86 (99.5% of the people watching), the results are more relevant because it's comparing items that are commonly available for any car no matter how new or old it is." Also the blue one didn't have the stock wheels or tires in the first place.

[@MikeJohnson-nr4yo]

I fully expected tires to out perform coilovers; but do both properly and get awesome track times.

[@Gasinduced]

Ideally you want a second set of rims with semi slicks on them for the track. Road tyres wear very quickly with track work. Buy some nice looking rims for the street and throw semi's on your stock wheels for track days.

[@JP-hr3xq]

As long as the body rolls in a controlled manner, it doesn't affect cornering (according to a Subaru test driver on youtube). Tyres are a much better investment if you have to pick one or the other.

[@prerunnerwannabe]

More 86 content, please!!

[@atheosxgaming]

wheres the fun in more traction..?

[@SamnissArandeen]

atheosxgaming To carry more speed through corners without sliding, thus being able to make up for your car's relative inability to gain speed on straights. Momentum cars are fun. The "illusion of speed" from Toyota's decision to deliberately emasculate the grip capabilities of their car is not fun.

[@boostedbrick62]

atheosxgaming Doing skids is a lot of fun but being able to carry a ton of speed through corners has it's own thrill

[@Theogmessy]

[@FussiestBore3]

Spinning is totally winning! ;)

[@SamnissArandeen]

FussiestBore3 But a sliding car is a slow car. That's why in circuit racing, you never see slides unless the driver loses control. The whole point of driving a low-power, low-weight car such as an 86 is to carry as much speed through the turns as possible.

[@mrburgermaster]

The importance of tyres is underestimated in many cases. Simply increasing the coefficient of friction will greatly improve maximum centripetal acceleration.

[@chriswilliamson9030]

honestly guys. im kinda disappointed in this test. i love you guys and your videos are mad but you guys really missed out on how to do this test where it made sense. firstly. those bridgestone's are NOT mad sticky track day tires. not even close. Toyo PROXES R1R are a good example, or Nitto NT05's probably have twice the grip of those bridgestones. There are many others from Pilot Sport Cup 2's to others. The only thing those Bridgestone are good at is low road noise and wet grip. they're a great street tire. dont get me wrong. But those are not track tires. Now on the coilover car. I'm ok with BC coils. But you should have used the same stock tire. period. Also you should have used to stock rims. They're aluminum and super light. that would have told us something. nobody is running an fr-s with those wheels. nobody. cept maybe you guys. everyone else, is most likely on stock wheel for this test to make any sense. can you do this test again, except, maybe with better conditions like.... my suggestions?

[@Candisa]

Tyres can be very personal. I buy nothing but Vredestein. Why? They rarely win tests unlike f.e. Michelin, but years ago I've spun out 2 times with no warning on Michelin tyres and had one blow out on me. I had a company car as well back then, on which I had Pirelli, Michelin and Vredestein, the latter pleasantly surprising me, so I tried them on my own car. Many different types of Vredestein tyres on many different cars later, with other brands in between that came on those cars (Michelin, Bridgestone, Continental, Uniroyal, Kleber...), and I'm simply locked in the brand more and more, some were better than others, but never a disappointment and never even close to dangerous. Also I'm pretty sure they're sponsored by Bridgestone, considering they've used them on many projects and they avoid mentioning other brand names, just like the the Castrol oils, Halltech ecu's, AMauto...

[@KniceKnafs]

Christian Williamson a bit too conceited you are. YOUR SUGGESTIONS?🤣

[@ThingFishTube]

Product placement features heavily in this sort of thing, which is OK, but the target audience here is about ~17yrs old, and the last thing anyone wants is lots of kids banging into each other on cold RSpecs. On the street. Maybe not on this dinky track, but you need to dry sump (Subaru boxers) if you track R Specs in anger, because of oil scavenging across the heads. At full song, one head runs dry mid corner, and it detonates on exit. Until you fix this, Subarus are great fun, but risky choice for seriously fettled track times. Particularly in a loan car.. MCM must invest significant effort into the-clay-they-can-get. Bridgestone will sell plenty of tyres, to people who need them, and the guys can eventually buy a restaurant, which is fine. Good luck to them!

[@420Patriot]

bridgestones are great track tires for one. two are you gonna fork up the 800 to 1000 dollars those tires cost?

zum It IS a Toyota 86 though, it's what Toyota named it. The other model was an AE86, so I fail to see any problems here.

[@littlepolarbears]

wowtek421 yes but the ae86s nickname and what everyone called it was just 86

[@man_guo]

Way do you want us to call the newer 86s then? Your logic is crap.

[@stephenjessop6058]

All the people I know call ae86's "ae's"... Or hatchi.

[@littlepolarbears]

Ethan Jorge well im american so we call them frs's but if its a gt86 just call it an gt86. hows that logic for ya?

[@jprock1980]

Mighty Car Mods Definitely enjoyed the video. Drove an old friends 86 (AKA the FR-S here in the States) and enjoyed it. Been to the track in a beater Honda Accord and will agree that suspension is a must. But then again, the bushings in my Accord were trashed. Keep up the awesome videos!

You guys make the internet even more addictive.

[@johnnalls385]

This was incredibly informative. I'm in the market for coilovers and performance tires and I did wonder which would have more of an impact. Question answered. Maaaad props.

[@BLX187]

not watched this channel for a while.. production standards have really gone up... keep up the progression

[@cowboys762]

By other interesting things they mean the upcoming collaboration with Roadkill. Can't wait!!

[@kellybroad7661]

I love this show but you know what I would like to see how different types of tires react to the track. You know like all season all weather but mostly if you could get away with using the softer winter tires and get similair results as you would with performance tires

[@wowtek421]

Very nice! Would've been nice to see the car stock run the course, and coilovers with stock tires (as the person said they wanted better tires or coilovers, so naturally you wouldn't change the tires as well). Also, would've been awesome to see a run with the coilover setup better, as opposed to the similar setup to stock. End result is the same though, just buy both lol

[@AlexanderKrivacsSchrder]

For the best comparison, you should've done lap times with a completely stock car as well. We don't really know how the upgrades compare to stock, because every car had something changed.

[@ryank5373]

It would have been interesting to see a true control on this test. I would be very interested to see what stock suspension and stockish tires would be capable of providing. The 2.5sec improvement was over the coilover car...

[@BensCoffeeRants]

I think the improvement really depends on what you need more. I imagine this car, already has decent a decent suspension set up. So you're better off getting good tires first if on a limited budget.

[@robgreenwood6939]

Don't forget that the driver is also learning the track every time he goes round and finding a faster line each time. results as expected if he did all laps in the same car.

[@mig6220]

When coil overs are installed, they ride high until they settle. Then, camber adjustment should be done.. I would love to see how this affects the track times versus just installed..!

[@sachideshmane5088]

The problem with tyres is that they wear out after a few track days. Suspension, on the other hand, is a more long-term upgrade that will hopefully last you for many years. This is one reason I would choose suspension over tyres, despite the slower lap times.

[@erty95]

Personally over the long haul I would invest in the coilovers. Yes the tires did see a time difference but how many runs will you get out of them? I would invest in coilovers, get used to those and tune them then invest on tires.

[@9ninetyfour4]

Everybody's discussing the test and the driver and whatever. But the first thing when making a car faster and especially race-ready is the tyres. The tyres are the only parts keeping your car on track and the suspension "only" tries to keep the tyres on the floor as good as possible. Therefore the suspension supports the tyre's work which also means you have to change tyres at first so the suspension can support them properly. And yes as we see here the stock suspension will come to its limits with good tyres and it is always a good investion to buy upgraded suspensions but always go for good tyres first if you're building a tracktool ;)

[@JerryPena]

You should of put the original tyres on the orange car to see how it did stock as well..

[@Stigs722]

Such a great test! This is mad! Well done on choosing the same rims for both cars

[@hotrodsather]

That is pry because new suspensions systems are already so advanced and high performing that you really can't see the benefits of an upgrade on a stock drive train. Tires on the other hand have such a wide range of performance.

[@samiralim95]

Nice job guys! I am looking forward to the new upcoming episodes!

[@GTChucker86]

It's actually better if you tune the suspension while using cheap tyres as opposed to tuning it while using better tyres like the RE-101. Some tuning companies in japan like Mine's or Boss have been tuning their suspension like that recently. Once you dialed up the stroke and rebound and getting the optimum performance from the cheap tires then suddenly switch to better tires then the car will handle slightly better.

[@thesniperofcs]

One of the best episodes of mcm

[@modelnutty6503]

it'd be interesting to see what good tires and a set of KYB gas charged shocks would do for the stock. granted I'm talking old school and simple here. back when, KYB designed for the car was a big upgrade for corner handling without spending a huge wad of cash. they do have a downside, hard use on rougher pavement does warm them up making them stiffer, not so much on a decent road/track. they might be worth a look at even today.

[@superjervis]

The reason the tire had a bigger impact was because the suspension from the BRZ was decent to start with,if it had been a more 'commercial' vehicle the suspension would have made a bigger difference.

[@K1LL3RD1M3]

So in Canada that car is called a scion frs and suby basically has the same model called the brz. The scion uses the suby engine. I guess they change the name of cars around the world for some reason

[@mdaniel1210]

good video, but I'm curious... if the premise was to find out which upgrade is better from stock, why were super cheap tires put on the coilover car? shouldn't it have been tested with OEM issued tires?

[@GhillieDomain]

you guys should do a DIY video on how to install a tablet into your sunvisor. I know youve already done an Ipad install. But, i see the sun visor as a different challenge. Thanks, love the show.

[@Tj930]

Good video. Yeah, remember hearing some years ago that an extra 50bhp might get an F1 car about 0.3 seconds a lap; a better tyre could produce 3-4 seconds a lap. (Bit boring but true! Tyres help acceleration, braking AND cornering.)

[@davidmaxwaterman]

I'm curious what the crappy tyres would have been like without the suspension changes - ie did the suspension changes make *any* difference at all to a stock car.

[@WTFNoNamesLeft2]

This video is fantastic! Thanks guys. Been watching a long time and this one has been the most useful for me yet!

[@xXCP1993Xx]

Wish you guys had ran the the stock suspension with the cheap tires to get an idea of the gains with coil overs

[@ROGUESPIRIT_]

you should have done a control test for both, then installed the tyres on one and the coils on the other and done another test. Subtract the second time from the first and the one with the bigger number is better!

[@gregb0239]

Since he was asking about better tires or coilovers, wouldn't the more accurate test have been to keep the stock tires on the one with the coilovers, since that's what he would have had?

[@vision1707]

Thank you for the explanation on coil overs. However, I don't have the funds to buy it right now. At the moment I have STOCK 2017 Toyota 86 (frs) . I do want LESS tail slide and MORE grip , however, I do have a mortgage and spending thousands of dollars on a couple of components is not doable at this time for me. Good coilovers cost thousands and I'm not ready to make big modification right now. Another thing is , I don't know too much about offset, inset, spacers , etc. My question is, if I just changed the stock tires and go with better tires like the Michilin PSS or Yokahama , etc. and keep the new tires same size as stock will i see better grip on this car ? I just want to get rid of some of the "tail happy" slide. Thank you and looking forward to your reply .

[@sarcastixx74]

Michelin PS4S. Basically the road version of the PSS. Better treadwear than the PSS (300), less noise but negligible difference in performance. Put them on your rears at least and you will see a dramatic improvement. These things seem to defy the laws of physics! These along with a set of lowering springs and you're good to go. As with most things, don't just take my word for it, check the widely available reviews. Still to see a bad one yet.
