Hi Guys,

I just added a pair of 315/35 17 Goodyear F1 GS-D3's out back and now I cant chirp the tires. Are these things really that much better than the old 245/45 17 Kumhos I had out there? The car seems accelerate a lot smoother with these tires, but I miss being able to chirp. Do I need to just try harder (whatever that means) Or are these tires just to big for a basically stock motored mustang to overcome?

Thanks,

Dude if you are getting that good of traction it is a good thing. You can always do a really strong clutch dump. OR buy a Kenne Belle!!!

You should still be able to chirp tires. Sometimes when you get new tires the traction is really good initially and as they wear a little the traction will be easier to break. Give them a week or so and see if they don't break easier.

When i first got my GS D3's they barked loud, now with my current rear end messed up I break traction from 2000RPM till 4800RPM lol. Some of that might also be with the colder temps here recently...enjoy the new found traction!

Werd! Chirpping? Regardless of the tire (and the GS-D3 is the bomb), you should be able to get sideways at will.

On the way home I got the car to go a little sideway on the 1-2 shift, but it didnt make any noise. I tried to do a burn out and the tires spun but didnt make any noise. So that solves that I guess.

There is a lot more mass to turn with 315s and the appropraite rim, more unsprung rotational weight is bad.

That's the first thing I noticed about my GS-D3s... they wouldn't break loose near as easy as my last two sets of tires. They are VERY sticky!

It sounds to me like you got a really nice set of tires there!.. if you want some chirping back, then get some more power or some crappy tires haha jk.. wish i had the same "problem" as you right now
