The BEST TIRES For AN S550 MUSTANG!! (ALL THE TRACTION)

[@danieltorquemadajr5395]

They are really good tires I had them on my 2015 charger SRT392 and a lot of dodge challenger and charger owners use it because they hook better than the firestones, pirelli pzeros neros, even better than the nitto nt555. I run 315/35/20 on the rear with a stock 9.5 inch wide wheel. They wore even so im a happy customer and would recommend them to anyone. Nut now im gonna try some nangkangs they have a way lower tread wear which mean better grip.

[@brianpreston2911]

Are they worth it.

[@howardlazoff1274]

Good quality video. 1. Stop the hop kit is a good investment (communicate with Stang Mode for insight) 2. You know that the 45 aspect ratio on your rear tires not only makes the side wall taller but increases the overall diameter of the tire too. It has the effect of changing your gear ratio and subsequently your torque multiplication. (eg. 3.55's behave like 3.31's-just an illustration not sure of your exact change) Also, a loose front end is not necessarily a bad thing for drags at the track where it is flat and has no crown the way a public street does in Mexico. You might even try a few passes at Maple Grove with your front sway bar removed. So, wait a while on the strut tower brace.

[@DownSouthRacing]

yes I have noticed how the gears behave differently. My car doesn't even shift into 4th until well after 120 mph.

[@GIUSAF]

Thanks man! Just ordered Atturo AZ850 285/45/19 for the rears, getting installed this Sat!

[@ericengelberg143]

Did you like these tires?

[@GIUSAF]

@@ericengelberg143 I really do like them. Great traction and they look great with spacers.

[@darkman8022]

Get the stop the hop kit it really works

[@saby8765]

This vid is a nice little gem. You said, the car relies on tire grip more than the balance of the chassis....that is 100% true for S197s as well. When you take a long high speed corner on the freeway the body rolls diagonally and then snaps back. I have driven my friends Civic, it doesn't have that much diagonal G-force, it has much more lateral G-force, tells me that the car has a tighter chassis and spring. I'm looking at some good quality coilovers and panhard bar to stiffen up the body and minimize diagonal G. Also, the car has a tendency to nose dive under heavy breaking and the grip feels lighter when going over humps at high speed. I'm pretty sure the coilovers will handle vertical G for the most part, but changing the breaks to 4-piston front and 6-piston rear will also improve the breaking balance, but I have to careful not to lock the rear wheels. If you all understand my problem and goal then please let me know what you think.

[@eeet.moor.schitken4013]

Would you mind sharing what coilovers you used?

[@Phantom5.0]

Did you have any power modifications on the car at point?

What gears are you currently running?

[@bryanalvarez5623]

Are you guys still finding this for that price i look up that size and it said it was 245 like huh

[@lowridr2]

got 275 atturoAZ850 on my 392 once they warm up yeah they hook up nice ofc you get some spin but night and day compared to stock

[@redlinemotorcars2184]

Add some 4:10 gears to a good drag radial to that car and it’ll knock a second off the quarter.

[@ironreed2654]

Probably long after you care but Idk about the 4:10 gears on an ecoboost, I've got the 3:55 gears on mine and I have to shift to 3rd at 58mph but the stock 3:31 gears get to 65. The extra shift/time on peak boost lost makes it loose time till your pushing more hp.

[@GIUSAF]

Dude thanks again for the video. I love the look of the AZ850s on the rear of my Stang! And the price was great compared to OEM replacements!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼

Can you put these tires on an ecoboost

[@نوافالجميل-ب6ض]

I really like how this looks, Can i run the same setup on the stock 2020GT wheels ?

[@frankie2499]

Its important for the back to have better traction, regardless of awd, fwd or rwd. Not my opinion, consumer reports did test. The car will spin out if the back looses traction and the front grip. Look it up dont take my word for it.I will not respond to any disagreement btw look it up just trying to be helpful

[@fortysixandtwo34]

That is because of weight distribution. Its simple science. As your car is moving along most of the mass/weight wants to go to the rear of the vehicle. Unless you brake for over a second, generally the mass always wants to shift to the rear.

[@gunsandhorsepower]

I go with drag radials cause you never know when that challenger pulls up

[@kollinbutler3371]

Are those sve s350’s? That’s look amazing thinking about going with those

Do u think I can fit this same setup on a s197 with 19 wheels

[@tylerfrank8375]

so would you recommend mixing different tire brands together? i thought that affects the tread life

[@DownSouthRacing]

hasn't affected mine at all! But I would say if you put tires that aren't similar then it would but these have similar tread ware and are a similar summer performance oriented tire

[@JohnJones-cg2xm]

Do you have problems with head room? Do you have leather or cloth seats? I'm 6'4 and I have trouble fitting.

[@eddieczigler2490]

Best tires should always go in rear. Prevents hydroplaning the rear and spinning out vs hydroplaning the front.

[@BarnfindGT]

Some drag springs would make your car look nasty! In a good way

[@DownSouthRacing]

cookymunster probably gonna go BMR drags this winter

[@BarnfindGT]

With the tire set up you have right now those would look great you’re gonna have a classic muscle car rake look

[@pospc2]

Seems I have to make a choice now. Was planning to run the indy 500s. I am trying to get a good street tire but will mostly be track use. I want to stay with the street tire cars. I don't think I would be competitive otherwise.

On the stock rear wheel which is a 19x9.5 you can go up to a 285 without issues, people have ran 305’s but they bulge

How many miles do you have on your car ? And what do you average per year ?

22K miles. I haven't had the car a compete year yet. So my guess is about 25K per year

[@tylerfrank8375]

will the rear tires still fit if my mustang is lowered?

[@DownSouthRacing]

tyler frank the only spring I know will is a drag spring as it’s only a .5 in drop.. my guess is no for anything other than that or maybe a minimum drop spring! My suggestion is call whatever company made your springs and ask them if they know!

[@DownSouthRacing]

GT/CS_Coyote stick shift or auto? I think an auto car would be pretty good on them! As for a stick shift car I’d recommend like a MT ET Street S/S

[@SavageBodybuilding]

Down South Racing Its auto I am running MT ET streets SS atm since that's what the guys PBD told me to run when I got my tune from them. They told me if it was manual to use the ET Street R not S/S since they are harder on the trans/drivetrain w.e u want to call it. But was curious to see if these tires would be good the ones I have now hook great but can't drive in the rain lol thats why I asked.

[@DownSouthRacing]

GT/CS_Coyote then these would be a great option! And for 100$ a piece (give or take 15$ on different sites) you can at least try them and if they don’t work, it’s a 200$ loss 🤷🏻‍♂️ not to say that’s pocket change but it’s not much in the grand scheme of things. Especially in terms of tires

What is the best 60ft?

[@DownSouthRacing]

1.91

[@19explorersport96]

Mine is 1.83 on Pirellis

[@moregainsmoreveins5267]

Shouldn't you have wider tyres in the back

I have 235 a/s Pirelli on my 18' 5.0, 10a, 3.15 rear I am able to get 1.8s 60 ft at 24psi.

[@DownSouthRacing]

thats mostly due to the 10 speed putting more torque to the ground than my 6r80

I need 60ft times for those? I had Indy 500's on my 2011 GT but i never got to take it to the track with them. I totaled my stang on the 2nd 😔 I had just bought the tires on the 17th of last month. Looking at getting a 2014 and thinkng of getting the Indy's again. But you have me interested in these too!

[@DownSouthRacing]

best 60 ft time so far is a 1.91

[@plutoguerra]

Pirelli lasted me 10k miles, a few launches no more than 10, and a few hard acceleration no more than 60 mph. my scatpack couldn’t get traction either, i was gonna buy Michelins because they are cheaper than the pirelli my car comes with and are better tires😂, ill give atturo a try since they advertise to be better than most brands and are cheaper

No not use atturos as a everyday tire on your Stang. They will make your 2015+ mustang handle like crap. Now the best tire for your dollar are the Firestone Indy 500, they will change you car completely if you are still running stock tires. Do not waste your money on Continental tires. Back again, Atturos are good for the drag strip only.

So you planned on making an advice video on tires proformance and ext!!Then I hear you say you always want your better set of tires on the front!! On a rear wheel drive Muscle Car People!! Ok The reason you rotate them is because when you drive a rear wheel car the tread on tires burn up faster than the front do so rotating them at the right time will extend the life of your wheels?!
