Torqued to 150ft-lb! Getting my s550 Mustang's wheels torqued to the correct spec. Not to be confused with the 100ft-lbs the wheels on my s197 Mustang require! If you're headed to "NOT Mustang Week" in Myrtle Beach be sure to check your lugs and tire pressures before hitting the road. I recommend a cold tire pressure reading of 31-32psi in these warm summer temps! Have fun and be safe! #notmustangweek #mustangweek #MustangsofInstagram #ford #fordperformance #womenindrive #diyauto #womeninautomotive #mustanggt #cargirl #PlayAllTheMotorsports #RyanCheekRacing

Michelin +SVE+Brembo=All the feels! I am super impressed with these @michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 Connect tires. They provided the ultimate street tire grip during wet and dry conditions for me at the Chasing the Dragon Hillclimb. I also drove the car on the tires about 100miles to and from the hillclimb event. On the street, the first thing I noticed was the increased braking abilities. I was able to slow the car much quicker and in less distance which was shocking the first time! The tires were a little louder than I expected and louder than other Michelin tires I have previously driven. However, this car is mostly Racecar and straight piped, so you could not hear the tires over 35mph. My tire guy, @citskipper, at Black Mountain Tire Connection, said these tires balanced super easy, too. Which also says good things about the @sve wheels. Road conditions at the hillclimb were not optimal. The pavement was very coarse, bumpy and rutted. The tires really did great providing stability and grip even when my car's stiff suspension was working against them. Even with a bad passenger front tie rod end on the car, these tires provided great turn-in feel, immediate responsiveness and had unwavering grip in tight corners. I never found the "edge" of grip with these modest sized tires which I feel is quite impressive given the dynamic weather conditions, my heavy solid rear axle mustang, and never having driven the road before. Big Thank You to @michelinusa for providing these awesome tires! They helped me take 1st in class and set a new class record! #michelintires #pilotsporttires #psc2c #MustangsofInstagram #michelin #PilotSportCup2Connect #svewheels #brembobrakes #ford #fordperformance #cargirl #racecar #hillclimbcar #sheshed #wheelwednesday #womenindrive #womeninautomotive  #mustangweek #musclecar #PlayAllTheMotorsports #RyanCheekRacing @ Black Mountain, North Carolina
