Got some much needed tires. Decided to go with the Continental extreme contact sports in 265/285. I love the way they look and despite not going full balls to the wall during my drive home.

~ the tires appear to have a much taller sidewall than the stock tires… is this the case?

No actually, both the front and rears are still 35's. Maybe it's due to the sidewall being more rounded compared to the Michelins? Nevertheless, this is the look I love.

I ran these on the STi I traded for the Supra. Positively great tire!

Yes, if you went with 265/285 and kept a 35 aspect ratio the sidewalls would be taller. You made them 35% of 265 and 285 as opposed to 35% of 255 and 275 that are the stock tires.

Pic from dealer before she (yeah that’s her chosen pronoun) hops on the transport truck today. Going from DC to SW FL, over 1000 miles. Should be here by Sunday 🕺🏼 2022 Phantom with red interior. I could have waited another couple of months for a 2023…. Regardless of financial common sense, I really wanted this color combo with an auto.

Edit: I say that and yet I didn’t want to pay $10k over MSRP - so I ordered her over 1000+ miles away and paying for transport 🤦🏼‍♂️ (what an emotional purchase these things are 😂).

Well, it runs! New cal from Jeff, but we're still on the gate spring. Just need to wire the Mac Valve and we're off and running. Low 9s or bust. I'm expecting a 9.6ish off the trailer and 9.2-9.1 consistently. Hoping to get reliable enough for a 9.00 index car.

I still need to powder the pipes, various clean up, parachute, etc. But we're getting real close.

Are your mirror caps gloss? Is this the CF edition? My 22 had matt black caps.
