Dragy times for Plaid and LR

[omarsultan]

Nice Omar! Did you notice an increase in road noise when traveling at highway speeds from the new tires?

No. I know a couple of folks asked me about that, but noise was not an issue. I didn't have my sound meter app with me today (new phone) so I'test tomorrow before I swap the 21s back.

Same spot? The second shows its uphill where the first one is flat.
And 1/4 or even 1/8 mile will show the 60 foot times which is more useful in comparing the launch.

So I got around to mounting the 19s with the Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 (impressive tire, BTW). Did speed runs in my usual spot and,TBH, not a huge difference--the 2.28 is the 21s+ Michelin Pilot Sport 4 and the 2.38 is the 19s + Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4.

BTW, weigh difference between the 2 is not huge:

21s: 58 lbs Front, 65 lbs Rear
19s: 54 lbs Front, 58 lbs Rear

So, the Michelin tires are that much heavier than the P-Zeros?

Amazing that the all season tires are so close to the MPS4!

Yup--they are a great tire choice so far.

OK, not your usual Dragy--did a launch last night on the 19s with three adults in the car. Three of the four were, um, BMI-challenged shall we say (sadly, including me). So, a couple of tenths slower than my earlier solo run and don't quite hit the Gs, but otherwise I was impressed.

 

[TwoK4drSi]

Welp…someone actually did it.

 

[omarsultan]

I have questions....but also seems that, unless there is a roll cage hiding in there somewhere, it does not help at the drag strip?

 

[Aleks0404]

This is it.

 

[omarsultan]

This is it.

I LOL-ed at those first two runs

i lol-ed when the mentioned Plaid needs more weight to make it competitive lmao

New best on the street surface.

Remind me again, 19s or 21s?

I've done couple 0-60mph hits too . Same location as always . Not sure why I got invalid slope on this one but hey look at the times with 1ft rollout

That's really impressive. I only have a crap time at 50% SoC (which with my broken battery could be more like 40%, but... who knows...).

Full interior with bunch of boxes in the trunk too , I was coming back from work . I just put 20 inch wheels on the car today , Michelin ps4 tires but I've run pretty much the same on 21s before . 0-60mph on 21s was 2.16 [2.0 with 1fr rollout] . It was kind of cold today when I did the hit, it was 64*f and 90% soc . I know the car will do 1.97 -1.98 on a warmer day and higher SOC .

Love your wheels. I'm talking with Signature now. What color are those?
