DO FRESH TYRES MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN 0-60 TIMES?🤔| MK8 Fiesta ST

- Heyyy,
Just a quick vid from me to see if fresh rubber makes a difference when doing 0-60s.
In this video I use Michelin Pilot Sport 4s 205/40/18
To make it a fair test, I done one run in each mode (sport mode and race mode), using launch control and manual launch. So if I messed up the launch, it was tough🤣
There are so many variables when doing comparisons such as temperature and nailing the launch and many more, but the proof is in the pudding🤪
But there we have it, let me know what you think in the comments below!
Great video Rach. I’ve just got myself a Mk 8 Fiesta, albeit a boring Diesel, but it’s great. I had a Mk 7 previously but the Mk 8 is such a massive step up in the way it drives & handles.
Great video once again Rachael, would love to see a POV on the channel, I’m sure that would bang on TH-cam!
Thank you! I think I could rock a go pro on my head🤣
This video has thrown my off cause I thought that slicks have a greater contact patch so a set of worn tyres should in theory have more grip but don't know anymore.
Most of the gain is down to the rubber being fresh and soft. Over time the rubbers stiffens and you lose grip. That and it might be possible that the compound is different accross the thread if you know what I'm saying. It could be a bit harder
Rachel's absolute looks of disgust at the first 0/60 in race mode 🤣, good time though nice and consistent with little slip 💪
Great job, nice and clean 👌😍😉
Such a pity that 2nd runs out to 57mph.. If it was just geared a little bit more say to 62mph (100kph for us Aussies) then the 0-60 would get under the 6secs.
Nothing wrong with the Michelin PS4's. got them myself in 235/40 18's. They are pretty good in the rain as well, not that we have had any rain since Nov last year
Jamie from officially gassed managed to get sub 6 in my car, I’m still trying to achieve that😅
Forget 1st and launch in second
Love the colour of the st! 😍
That's one of the nicest ST's I've seen. Love it
Liked video I dint know bald tyres wasn't as good as new ones🤣 bin driving all them years thanks 👍 as long as ur in al watch it x
Fantastic video Rachael 👏 I remember back in the day I spelt all my money on the engine.!!!! Quick but shit! Older and more experienced. My Next car I upgraded the brakes and tyres and suspension. I loved that car more. !! Keep up the good work matey 👏 love from Manchester. 🤣🤣
Thank you! X
I’ve been watching your videos for a while now. Newly subscribed that last month or so. I have to say I like to see your older style of videos where you was more hands on and doing things that (sorry) you don’t normally see girls doing, that content is so much better
Every video isn’t gonna be for everyone but thanks for the feedback!
Do you change your own tyres? What a bizarre comment.
@@euanscotland not a bizarre comment in the slightest Euan. Whats bizarre about it? I’ve used a tyre machine and wheel balancer before. Have many times thanks
@@01arron maybe that was your job?
I'd love to know where I could hire those machines you talking about?
Or which garage let you do your own on there machines?
C'mon guy. You have not done this many times. That's just as bizarre are your first comment 😂
Looks amazing rach as always and sounds really nice
Were those tires cold during your tests?
Good video Rach, what happened with you and Cait though they were a good laugh too those vids!
Great watch! Keep them coming!
Thanks Tom, hopefully see you soon!😜
Saw Your Car in Town Few Days Back.....and it looks awesome in person ✌🏻👍🏻
Thank you!
@@RachaelBuckley 🥳🥳🥳🥳🤪🤪🤪🤪
The car sounds amazing!
Hi rach watch your video a lot love your car got a st myself performance blue always had one what tyres did you have put in your car ? Andy Bolton
Thank you! & PS4s x
@@RachaelBuckley thanks
Not just the tyres also the condition on the day could change thing,I'm sure a cooler day you would get faster times as well,we know cold air is much better than hot air,plus ground temp will also make a difference too
So many variables🤷🏽♀️
Yes girl 🔥🔥🔥🔥
💗💗💗
Nice little vid x
more tread does not mean more grip you will have.
now if you was at some where like brands hatch silverstone santapod then do the same test worn new and slick tyres.
you will see the difference even very low tread like 0.5mm on a treaded tyre will act like a slick tyre.
even tyre pressure can make a big change.
We’re talking road use, not track/drag use with prepped surfaces🤭
@@RachaelBuckley even on un prepped surfaces contact patch of the tyre is what you need. to gain the most traction.
been involved with motorsport long enough to know that more tread does not always give you the most traction.
good video, but revo stage 2 brings the revs up to 7k allowing for 2nd gear at 60mph
Great video ! 💯❤️
Great driving, 0.7 of a second quicker doing the launch yourself👌👌👌👍👍
Hi :) what app are you using? I want to have a blast in my m135i
the way those old tyres were worn, it looks like your alignment is out a bit, ideally the tread should wear evenly across the full tread, worth a checkover. [your car goes faster with correct geometry]
lewis hamilton dosen't have any tread on his tyres for his fastest times..... but sometimes theory + practice just don't work out, too many variables at play on your test, but interesting vid nevertheless
Isn’t this video topic like saying if you put petrol or diesel if it takes it in your will the engine will start?
Love the vids, would you recommend 225 as an alternative to the 205?
Thank you! & can’t really say as I’ve never had 225s sorry!😅
Are your thumbnails ever anything but thirst traps like
We Missed You 🤪
10 out 10
when doing launch control starts the needle on the rev counter isnt supposed to keep going up and down its supposed to stay solid and id say you might be better trying at higher revs like 4 thousand launch harder
Tell that to Ford🤣
Did you replace them like for like or use a different make of tyre
Like for like - Michelin PS4s
@@RachaelBuckley I use Uniroyal rs5 on all mine
what app/ equipment did you use to get the results as I would like to see if my 0-60 time has improved.
I used a dragy which connects to the app and records using satellite
@@RachaelBuckley thank you
I think that you was getting better times because of multiple runs. The tyres were getting warmer which provided you more grip and better times :) I do not think that you was getting better times because of different launch methods.
Did you stick the the OEM Sizing? I believe you can even go up to 235 because the wheels are 7.5" wide. Not that the tyre width makes that much of a difference but it does help. Compound is way more important so glad you went with the Michelin PS4S. Nice video 😉
Yeah same tyre, same sizing to keep it as fair as I could☺️
launch control is a rip off! I'm glad my Mustang didn't come with it, although its a base convertible with a 3.7L V6. It was dynoed at 269HP at the rear wheels
Hey Rach what app were you using for the timing? Ta
Dragy
What fresh tyres did you put on?
Kinda surprised you didn’t mention what you was running 🏃♂️
Michelin PS4s and yeah ahha it was a quick vid🤦🏽♀️
Tyres make an absolute massive difference, I was running standard spec continentals on my mk2 focus rs then changed to ps4s' and the difference is like night and day in a good way
traded my mk8 for a brand new i20N never looked back but I did like my fiesta , ive had 3 in total
I drove one the other week for the first time, I was VERY impressed. Good choice!
Like a boss i20n has hit me hard first car to do so in yrs and yrs I went no car 2017 to date saved 100k rebuilt my life from nothing based flat new jobs minimalist life style anyway immdropping 25k on a i20n I cannot stand the fiesta now it doesn't matter what car I compare new to the i20n no other car or deal comes close
How much was the wrap?
£1600 ish
Your car sass well nice rachael wen you wos testing it with old rob and with new rob on your car naw rachael love it your car is very nice wot you have don to it rachael keep making the videos wen you can rachael i like woching them from Steven morris
I bet you can get even faster after you worn out all the storage gum from the new tyres
I think you’d probably get under 6 if you didn’t have the roll cage. It would be a bit drastic to take the passenger seat out, but that might do it too 😂
*Were the new tyres also the PS4's?*
Yeah
What app you using for 0 to 60
Dragy
Why is engine light on?
GPF delete
@@RachaelBuckley ahh ok nice st btw
i wait from Turkey
Only here for the rack.. I mean the track 😆
Fresh out of the box new tryes need a few miles to remove any lube from manufacturing, then you will see even better results.
I drove a few miles before testing them out👌🏻
😯😯
Loads of life left in them. You should see the rears on my e46 lol
Drift cars don’t count🤣
Mr drifter
stock car ?
Revo stage 2
I've just used your code for Y food
Enjoy!
Hey Rachael 👋
Helloooo
Always better without launch control, its just a gimmick .
100%!!!
Potenza all day long
Launch control is useless
Oh tell me about it🤣
Hi
Heyyyy
@@RachaelBuckley nice st
Beautiful girl.
