Tires are EVERYTHING. Even if you're never going to track your car, spend good money and get the best tires you can afford. They are literally your only contact with the road. What constitutes "best" is of course going to be different from one driver to another. Evaluate your needs honestly, educate yourself and choose wisely. You're going to have those tires on for quite a while, so make sure you pick the right ones.

Unless you like doing burnouts and drifts, in which case you should compromise and try to get a much cheaper tire that doesn't suck. Usually one that doesn't get as good of a tread life but has similar traction to the more expensive ones are the ones to get.

the camera is exposed for the sky, which would make randy appear too dark, so they used a ton of bounce cards (as seen in the reflection of his glasses) to add more light to him but it makes him look more like he's in a studio. The combination is something that looks well-exposed, but very unlike what a typical phone camera or even DSLR video can capture alone. IMO the scenery looks amazing!

Sometimes we forget that MotorTrand still needs to earn as a company. I love their shows and production. Like it or not, these shows will incur costs. Having one or two of these 'infomercials' will help them give us shows that we like.

People finally realize how important tires are. Next time you say "Corvette is as fast as a 458 or 911" remember that the Corvette comes with sticky track tires and those two come with street tires. That's how certain cars manage to set those crazy lap times on the Nurburgring so they can brag about being faster than their competition, but it's actually all due to the tires that give them 1-2 seconds per mile of advantage.

@ALMX5DP

8 жыл бұрын

All OEMs use street tires save for a few low volume models. Corvette is no different than Porsche or Ferrari, and most use top tier tires though may differ in model or size. Corvette (even the Z06) definitely does not come with anything close to resembling the R1S shown in this video, and comparing it to high end manufacturers on the basis of lap times is definitely relevant. A manufacturer chooses the tire it wants to place on its vehicle. Sometimes they choose a more all weather based tire, but when journalists test these cars, they can only go by what the manufacturer provides. The 911S comes with Pirelli PZero tires whereas the Corvette Z51 comes with Pilot Super Sports, both very much street tires.

5 seconds is astronomical in the same car with the same driver on the same day. awesome representation of the difference contact with the road. to make up that much of a difference through the car's performance by adding horsepower it would probably cost over $15,000 in performance upgrades easy. or you can simply slap on a set of race tires when you go to the track...

@GlassTopRX7

8 жыл бұрын

A full set of rims and race rubber isn't going to be cheap either and you are going to need a second vehicle to get you to the track. If you are into tracking, that may not be a big deal but then you still dealing with a car that is setup for driving on the street. A suspension setup for the track will yield huge gains as well, my point is this where many people switch over to a dedicated track car.

@4fastdrs

8 жыл бұрын

GlassTopRX7 valid point but a tire swap at home and then driving to a local truck would not be that messy a project for a Saturday. I wouldn't go as aggressive as they did in this video but a set of Pirelli Trofeo R's (McLaren P1) you could drive there and back in your Mustang or Cadillac CTS-V... Kick-Ass and then drive home swap back to your regular tires and be back to work on Monday. You would need a second set of rims but that's what Craigslist is for. Whole thing could be done for under 3 Grand. Which I would say is a reasonable investment for weekend only fun.

@ALMX5DP

8 жыл бұрын

+Michael Daniels II The example car in this video wouldn't be a prudent choice for a track vehicle, but a coupe would fit track tires nicely behind the seats and in the trunk, so a second car wouldn't be needed. And everything works in harmony, I've seen people lose time on track when upgrading suspension (without touching tires) due to the chassis being out of balance with overly aggressive spring rates not meant for street tires. Also a tire like the Nitto NT01 is a perfect "drive to the track tire". Very long life, lasts tons of heat cycles and still provides 75-80% of the performance compared to something like the R1S.

Alan Bowers yeah I have no idea why they chose a drop top??? I mean other than the obvious reality that they didn't choose a drop top it was just the one vehicle they could find two of in a moment's notice to do this comparison. But if you're not buying something like a 458 or R8 I don't see the need for a drop top. Of course that's just me personally.

So like my first two statements said before I elaborated. GREAT VIDEOS! Keep up the good work.

i always like the presentation of motortrend. Great videography

You're getting better Randy. I like it. I like it alot

Randy's race suit is one of the coolest suits I've ever seen. I want one

wow the grass on the field is amazing😁😁

Brought to you by BF Goodrich.

Great commercial!! True that tires make all the difference. On my '13 GT going from the stock 235 square stance PZero Nero all seasons to 255 front and 285 rear Nitto Invos was like night and day. So even going from street tire to street tire can make a huge difference. In my case the leap was from all season to ultra high performance summer tires. Now the car can perform on the street like it should.

A lot of people bitching here about the vid, and I am sure 98% have never been faced ant car or track days ! I been racing for some 34 yrs from beginner to Trans-Am back to Vintage and have used many brands over time and all make good rubber and more important is how you set your vehicle up for the race and how you drive, some guys are fast but overdrive their car and use up their tires (usually the young guys !) but most top brand tires are great on the trick and BF Goodrich has been for 50+ years and they have the history to prove it ! : )

wow what an awesome day at work for them. lush and green with big puffy clouds. lucky

Randy is just great!

5:04 " Were going forward." lol very descriptive.

Gotta love Randy!

Never seen that track so dang green

My favorite tires right now are the Michelin Pilot Super Sport because they combine different rubber types to get you a sticky tire that lasts a long time. Sticky tires are better but they wear out faster. With the super sports they used soft sticky rubber for the 1/3 of the tread nearest the outside of the tire and put no grooves there, so when you are cornering hard you are contacting mainly sticky rubber. For the inside 2/3 of the tire they used a harder rubber which is the part of the tire that you will be on more when you are driving straight. This way your tires don't wear out as fast when you are just commuting. They are kind of expensive but figure in that you will get more life out of them and better performance. Obviously if you drag race or something you would want the entire tire to be sticky and soft, but these SS ones are awesome for a street car that is sporty.

Thank God Randy is back (I know he has been here but i mean in his own show)

very helpful

Mr Pobst , have you ever thought that your web series could use a longer time for your videos or possibly more of those stories of track days I like the end credit stories a lot it shows you're not kidding bout the time behind the wheel . love the show !

Randy Pobst is my spirit animal

I wish this series didn't stop.

This was the lognest BFGoodrich advertisement I've ever seen...

im a simple man, I see Randy Pobst, I press like :D

"You have to treat the tires with respect" immediately does a power side

But shotguns are a pretty broad range of use tool. They can be used to Open beer cans Breach doors start camp fires start forrest fires put out candles shoot birds shoot squirrels protect squirrels from birds drain above ground pools

Basic but good. I think a good end to the piece would have been to discuss the additional wear and tear on hubs, wheel bearings, tie rods, ball joints, suspension mounts and bushings, etc. that comes from increasing the chassis load with a grippier tire. In the same way that track-grade tires function on another level compared to street-grade tires, track-grade chassis components cope with the loads that track tires can generate in a way that street-grade chassis components cannot.

Despite the commercially content, that track is so beautiful that I thought it was CGI at first.

The comp 2 is a good street tire as well. Nice.

Randy is putting off a Bill Nye vibe in this video. I think he'd legitimately be a good children's show presenter.

Awesome tires!

Did I just watch a BFGoodrich infomercial?

I really hope Pobst had fun making these.

Randy is the man!
