    CT5-V What wheels are these??

    The listed 305/25/20 tire size is going to be a tough one to find decent tires in. 305/30/20 is super popular but that's an inch taller tire than OE.

    Media dumps

    It's interesting the part of their discussion starting about 17:05 where the passenger (Mark) starts describing the rear suspension "walking" over undulations in a straight line - several of us have discussed this sensation in other threads with our basic 5BWs and I was hoping the PP would cure...

    What did you trade?

    Excellent, thank you. I had a semi epic solo test drive of a 2018 AMG GTR a couple of years ago and really enjoyed it (I'm 6'2"). But I have trouble justifying the massive price difference between the S and the R and I'm not sure I want to deal with the complexity of the rear wheel steer and...

    What did you trade?

    Woof woof! The AMG GTS is on my short list for a car in the next year or two. Would appreciate your impressions especially comparing it to your 5BW if you have time.

    I have driven on the OE tires in the 30s and wet and didn't die . . . but you do have to be a little careful.

    Come to think about, there are plenty of guys running non-standard tire sizes like 325s that are taller and I haven't heard of any ABS or stability control freakouts. But do your due diligence.

    I am personally unaware of any such issues but I haven't researched it. It wouldn't be a bad idea to speak to your service advisor and see what tires they recommend for their 668hp, 205mph supersaloon. If you buy what they tell you, it would be hard for them to argue with warranty issues.

    CT5-V 5BW new tire time - discussion

    There is a big thread about that very problem somewhere on this forum if I recall. If I needed an AS tire, I would look at the Michelin AS4 and run the factory size 275/35/19 up front and a 285/35/19 in the back. Slightly taller but slightly narrower tread in theory. However, when that 285...

    Please don't take this as me being a jerk, but Invos weren't true grippy high performance tires when they came out, what, 15+ years ago? And the 555 G2s are not particularly well respected as anything but an inexpenisve tire. The drag style 555Rs and such are supposed to be incredible in...

    Info about the TPC-spec tires. Basically, they have some of the SportCup2 compound in the tread. https://gmauthority.com/blog/2021/06/2022-cadillac-blackwing-sedans-feature-unique-michelin-tires/

    They are excellent tires from the factory. But I enjoy trying new tires, too. The fact that the tires were developed for the car doesn't mean there aren't other tires that might be better for my use case.

    CT5-V 5BW new tire time - discussion

    Yes . . . I drive a little harder than most. I don't think I've ever gotten more than about 12k miles out of a set of performance car tires going back 20+ years. I am religious about psi, too, and don't do stationary burnouts or track days. The PS4S on my GT350R are toast with 10k miles on...

    Correct valve position for Corsa installation…

    Good luck! Let's hope everything works!

    CT5-V 5BW new tire time - discussion

    Hey guys, I am curious if anyone has experience with different tires on their BW. I've run the rear tires down to 3/32 and the fronts are about 5/32 so I am looking at doing all 4 tires (just crossed 8k miles and no track days). The car is a semi-daily driver but I have other vehicles for...

    CT4-V AWE-Tuning.com ready to make full exhaust kits

    I am definitely hoping the AWE exhaust will tuck up better than the Corsa and unleash some sweet V8 music!

    What did you trade?

    GT350R and 5BW 6sp owner here. Interestingly, I find my 350R Recaros more comfortable for longer trips than my 5BW with the sky cool gray seats. I took the 350R for a 3k mile roadtrip out west a few years ago and did several days of over 700 miles with zero issues. The BW seats just aren't as...
