2008 "tigermachine II" Bullitt Mustang build, Pics & Video on Post #518 ...

[tigerhonaker]

I thought you got those wheels a year ago. And you were running the MT Street Comp tires back then.

Brian ...

Yes got the SC-5 M/T wheels and the Street Comp tires in 2013.
I still have them on the Bullitt now with it at Brenspeed.

Once it gets back I will have only days to get the New M/T tires on.

So I went ahead and got them on order.

The fronts are the Street Comps still in a much (Smaller-Size).

The rears this time are different, M/T ET Street Radial II tires.

Much (Larger-Size) and completely different tires than on it now.

Terry, I run the M/T Street Radial II's on mine for a DD tire. I have been very impressed with them in the way they handle, as well as the traction. I have been caught in a couple of down pours with them and they held up very well. Never gave me any traction problems but I didn't drive crazy either. I think you will be very happy with them, especially when you hit it and it actually accelerates, instead of just spinning.

Hi Earl ...

As you might recall I went through all this like a year ago.

I was going to try them then but backed off.

This time I did even more Research on them and found that lengthy Article I posted here on S-197.

Those guys drove with them like 5K to 7K miles.

In all sorts of weather conditions and certainly as they said, (Water).

Plus, I have always remembered your comments on running them.

You I (Trust) !!!

Dave .......

What size are you running M/T tires & on what size width wheels ?

And any encouraging words you would share

Any Pics from the Rear showing how they look from the side.

I'm wondering how they will look in regards to the Fender-Lip ?

I'm hoping they won't be hanging out past the Fender-Lip.

Those were 265/40/18 on a 8.5" wheel.

They were a great tire for 460 whp, lasted 5000 miles and 30 or so passes , were decent in the rain when new the one time I got caught.

Cannot comment on the fender question.

 

[retfr8flyr]

Terry, I am running the M/T 305/45/18 on a 10 inch wheel with 7¼ inch backspacing. I hope these shots will help you.

Earl,

Man your's look really nice.

I hope mine will look similar to your's.

No way to know until I get Discount Tire to mount one of the rears.

I don't want the tire hanging out past the Fender-Lip.

We shall see .........


Thanks guys !!!

It is interesting how the Power has increased over the years with the Bullitt.

Many different combinations over time and positive results with those changes.





Last set-up with Saleen Supershaker ...





Now with pump gas in it.

Hi Chris ...

Well honestly George did not say it was mine but I'm thinking that Chart was showing mine on the Dyno today.




What is really interesting is that puts the (Crank Engine) H/P @ 785.20.
