New LMR SVE SP2 Wheels (PP2 Replica)

[StangTime]

A question for those that went 285/325 tire size. Did you notice an increase in road noise? I'm considering going that route with the Firestone Indy500 tires because I've read these are better than the Nitto package but I am concerned the noise will increase. Did anyone go from the Michelin PS4S tires to the Firestone Indy's? If so what sort of experience did you have?

I'm having a hard time letting go of the Michelin PS4S. I've been spoiled with these and leery of going to another brand. There is a lot of tread left on my OEM PP1 set. A new set of MP4S tires in 285/325 size are over $3000 Cdn!
That's painful enough to consider going 275/40R19 square. Then I could keep my MP4S rear tires and only buy 2 more 275/40R19.

The 10/11" Firestone package comes all ready to mount. If I just order rims, I still need the TPMS and have to get them mounted and balanced plus buy a new set of lugs.

Adding: This is street/highway driven car. It will never see a track as there aren't any close to me.

What tpms comes in the kit? Only accept Ford, accept no Chinese knockoffs.

Then why not stick with 19x10 square and recycle the ps4s?

I replaced the rear 275/40/19 pirelli's on my 17 PP1 with firestone indy 500's in the same size. The indy's were better than the pirelli's and priced like the nitto's. I only put 3K on the indy's before I traded the car but I liked them while I had them.

Not from Ford. They are Shrader sensors which is OEM for Ford.

This is how I'm leaning. This way I can transfer the OEM TP sensors over to the new rims.

Thanks for your input. Haven't heard anything bad about the Indy's, just that they don't grip as good as the MP4S's do.

The noise would be from the tire change more than the size. The Indy's I find to be a bit more noisy than the Pirelli's, but they are stickier.

I also went from pirellis to indys, can't say anything bad about the indys, which are still my street tires. They can also be used as track tires for a beginner group.

Why are you going for the Firestones? They're not a bad tire by any means but from what I've read they last half as long as the Michies.

@StangTime , I'm not suggesting you should smuggle them, because that would be a very irresponsible thing to suggest. We have such a wonderful government that we all need to support and fund with all we have, so that mr. Turdeau can rennovate some more mansions.

I am, smuggle them wheels!

Probably money. Bet those Indys are significantly cheaper than a set of PS4S.

I've been very happy with the firehawks. I've had them on my pp1 wheels and got over 20k on them with out rotation and still have life. Only have about 10k on them on the pp2s on square set up and should able to stretch the life span awhile on them. I have even had them on the drag strip, and they performed okay for a street tire. When these tires die I will put more right back on.

Haha. Yep. Indy's are almost 1/2 the cost. The premium price of P$4$ tires is a hard pill to swallow.

Indy 500’s are a great tire. Way better than the Pirelli’s and while they won’t outperform the Michelin’s, short of extremely hard driving or track use you really won’t see a difference. I’ve had all 3 on my GT and the Michelin’s ultimately have the highest threshold of grip, but the Indy’s are a great daily tire and will hold up to some pretty spirited driving just fine. The Pirelli’s aren’t even acceptable as boat anchors. Lol.

they probably even float.
