Level 2.

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.

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.

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...

Good luck! Let's hope everything works!

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...

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

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...

Very good - thank you!

Are you guys working on a catback for the 5BW, too? I filled out the form many months ago expressing interest and am curious if you've made any progress.

Whoa! Please tell us more and keep us updated when you have some driving impressions.

I drove a 2012 Carrera S with PDK several years ago (first year of the 991.1). Underwhelming would be the word that comes to mind. Yes, precise and "perfect" but good grief it did not excite me in the slightest. On the other hand, I drove a 4BW 6sp a week after I took delivery of my 5BW...

DonD - if you are in San Antonio area, take it over to Blackjack on Huebner. Those guys know how to deal with low profile tires better than anyone else in the area. I would want a plug/patch combo if I were you.

The main thing is to be smooth with the gas and steering. From personal experience, you can catch the stability/traction controls napping even in Snow/Ice mode in a 5BW if you hammer the gas in heavy rain.

I am in LA several times/year and my detectors have helped me many times. As for the instant on, normally you are not the first guy they are pointing at so your detector should have been alerting you when the officer was radaring the other cars in front of you. These modern detectors are...

This is going to sound like me being a jerk but I'm not trying to: if you can't see the benfit of a radar, you must not live in an area with much traffic enforcement or you don't actually drive fast enough for it to matter. Also, driving fast in the right lane is a very curious decision...
