Seems like we need one on here to talk cars, mods and the coolness of your or their car.

Interested? Chime in

On the dry checking shown in the picture, you could probably go years without worrying about a tire failure because of that.

The stock exhaust on the Hellcat is fantastic. That sound is what I want on my Scat Pack Shaker. Not going to get close since I'm 200HP short.

I've got the K40 setup and honestly not impressed, got nailed over 140 in a place that *should* have given me warning.

I've got the AntiLaser Priority five-head system. I've heard a lot of great stuff about it.

if you go to a stang message board they can tell you exactly what's what.

Yea, I'll give my FIL a call too. Since the diameter and width of the tires are both different (275/245 and 35/40), does that mean I have different sized rims on the front and back as well?

That's my questions as well. I'd like to get some life out of these, even just a year since the tread is so good on these still. I want to make sure this isn't a pressing issue and something I can leave for sometime early next year maybe?

Are those legal? Have you heard lots of feedback that they work?

I've been using the app Waze. More and more people are using it and reporting police presense. Kept me out of trouble several times already.

Yes id put money your rims are staggered, once you start playing with the tire size you mess with the side wall height and could end up with a funky looking setup. As for the dryrot, its tough you could drive for a long time and nothing or you could end up like this. Even with no rot Id not drive on a tire anywhere near that old.

This would be my luck

You can use a detector in FL but not a jammer.

It is legal in all the states I'll be in. Yes, I've heard a lot of positive reviews. I also have a Passport Max2 with Escort Live. Hopefully it all works!

Dude! Get them replaced. You are gambling with those tires.

I don't know if the rims are the same width or not, but your tire sizes indicate the rims are 19" diameter.

What have you heard are the best legal detectors in Florida?

Also, I thought the jammers turn themselfs off after detecting radar and into parking mode or some benign mode.
