  1. Not without being charged a ton, it’s easy to do yourself if able

     

    Just lift the shingles around the area, toss new vent cover on and seal the shingles back down with correct adhesive

     

    I’m not about heights... at all. Its one of three things I don’t like. That’s why I’m fine with paying for it. Was hoping to find a good handyman to keep him around for other stuff down the road.

  2. i don't like the DWS on anything over 3500 pounds(where the mustang fits in) the sidewalls will feel like jello compared to the stock pirellis.

     

    My pref....

    1. Pilot sport as3+

    2. Nitto Motivo

    3. BFG comp2 AS

    4. DWS06

     

    I was hoping you'd respond. Thanks for the suggestions.

     

     

    Assuming one isn't focusing on maximum dry performance, is there any benefit of going with a high performance all season VS summer tire if it will be used in the summer only? For example, quieter, last longer, cheaper. I would assume the all/season would just be a little more compromised on dry/wet than a summer only tire, all other things being equal.

     

    I'm just a little surprised about all of the all season suggestions, if they will never drive it in the cold/snow.

     

    I had those Pirellis on my Mustang and my fucking god those tires suck for any spirited driving. Probably mostly because Fordlol gave a ~430 horsepower car the same skinny 235mm-wide tires as any given boring sedan on the road.

     

    I had these on my Camaro and they're great sporty/all-season tires (if that's a thing). They grip just enough for slight shenanigans, but mine were 285mm wide. I don't recommend autocrossing with them though.. they're far from awesome in that environment. If he's not doing any kind of track shit I'd definitely check these out. However, nothing beats a good set of 100TW Summer tires, unless he's worried about getting more than 1-2 seasons out of them.

     

    This is his "mid-life crisis" car, so he putters around in it when he can get the key away from his wife. It definitely won't see anything more than a windy road. Also, the past few years, they seem to be away from home in it when a snowstorm happens, hence the preference towards an A/S.

  3. My dad is need of some new tires for his Mustang and would like some recommendations while doing my research. He has Pirelli PZero Nero A/S 235/50-18 on there now (OEM tires). He had no problems with them, but I'm sure theres a better tire.

     

    He doesn't need a drag tire or anything super aggressive. Not a track car, just summer/road trip mostly. Summer only are fine, would probably lean toward another HP A/S if it's better.

     

    So far, I'm thinking some of these: https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?message=singleSize&tireMake=Continental&tireModel=ExtremeContact+DWS+06&partnum=35WR8DWS06&autoMake=Ford&autoYear=2014&autoModel=Mustang+GT+Coupe&autoModClar=Standard+Brakes

  4. SO, I had the opportunity to visit a friend who is an exotic car broker, and has a nice inventory. Of which, included an R8 and a 996 Turbo. I wanted to stop today on the way to look at a different 996 to see how I felt about the R8 as I honestly cant think of the last time I saw one in person.

     

    Well, I liked it. Really, I LOVED it. In a room with several 996s, 991s GT3, A Lambo Murci, other cool shit...it stood out. This one also has a Valvetronic exhaust which make me forget it was a V8. It sounded completely exotic. It made me want to sell everything to own it. It made me not miss my vette, like at all.

    Since your friends with Doug?, why not buy the RS2 he's selling?
