tonycharger72 Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 I was reading through this book and the bloke in it suggests when choosing tyres, "Series 60 tyres - regardless of brand - will cause a stock Z to wander at high speed" Anyone know why this would this be?

cyrus Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 Because you should of ran 45 series... So of the old info is a hoot. I have a book that is concerned with hitting tires on fenders because there was "only" 4 inches of travel before hitting. It also shows some performance "Track" pinto that looks like it is ready for a offroad event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 I think the book was written in the days of bias ply tires, plus the last 25 or 30 years of tire technology isn't taken into consideration. It's a good book and has some useful info but it is dated. BTW there are some wicked fast Pintos out there, and I'm not kidding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Here comes trouble Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 I have a 1984 edition with most information focused on the 510 sedan but some interesting Bob Sharp photo modifications to the Z suspension and body Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
