Re: The Car Talk Thread
CK's as in those 19x8.5" things? Those are cold pressure cast, so they're gettig heavy at 28.1 lbs (well...that's light for a 19, but not as light as it could be). Put that on top of the fact that they are 19's...you're acceleration, braking, and handling will be hindered. What do you think of the BBS RGR's? 19 will still… -

Re: The Car Talk Thread
I always thought when you go so wide in front you kill turn in? Wouldn't it be easier (plus track less - I call tracking what Doc described as tramlining) to just close the gap in the F/R tire pressure ratio? Here I am debated 245-50/16 all around or 225-50/16 in front hehe Also, aren't those 19" wheels killing you on… -
Re: The Car Talk Thread
Thanks. Nah, I hate car forums. Spent way too much time on them when I was first getting into modding. Only time I use them now is if I'm looking for a specific bit of info.

Relying on tire pressure for handling adjustments on the street is simply not practical. The 19's are forged and lighter than the OEM 18's that I run with snow tires. Amazingly these wheels are so strong and light that they were worth every penny. I had a set of 18" Volks on my old Audi that were like butter compared to… -
Re: The Car Talk Thread
yeah, dragon, i forgot to add the mileage disclaimer. leases work fantastic for people who can stay low on miles (very handy for us with motorcycles ) but you can see by the math that you did, sure comes out close, doesn't it? Bubba - you apparently don't have many friends with the new generation F150. They truly are… -
Re: The Car Talk Thread
F150.. V8.. Ranger.. I'm so your guy. I currently drive a 2003 Ford Ranger FX4 Level II. It is a 4x4 (hence the FX4 name) has the 4.0L V6 w/ a manual trans. The 'Level II' bit is a special 'off-road' package that adds quite a bit of weight by way of a heavier axle, special skid plates and the sort. The package also means…
