The SHOW - '95 Ford SHO Taurus
Thanks: 5
Thanked 17 Times in 11 Posts
I was blown away at the difference in tires. I put a new set of tires on my Taurus SHO and lost about 150ft in how far it would coast. I would coast from a certain spot all the way around a few corners to the a stop sign, every single day I did this. I put a new set of tires on the car and never got close.

Now with my 59 Rambler that I drive every day. It has very narrow little bias ply white walls (we are talking 4") with drum brakes set up with zero drag and I have lost an entire block on that same test.
