A $2500 rod purchase is not necessary if OP installs said tires.

Also, this thread is a serious advertisement for said tires.

But they are the best...Till he gets his ass handed to him in what ever class he races in and gets the joy of "I did not see that one coming" just like the rest of us suckers. If it is not obvious to you yet we really are working from a disadvantage here on poorly designed crapmobiles with both hands behind our back. You really have to go to King Kong levels to be the King now and I have not seen one engine last yet, must be love...

I’m curious - are these threads actually designed to make yourself feel better about overpaying for underwhelming parts?

Pie slobraretard has always been this way. He’s a constant commercial with nothing to show.

Here we go again, Cobraricer. The best 4.6 mod rod available? Where are your test results??????

Accufab racing John Mihovetz Rolling test bed. World record holder for the fastest 4.6 Ford mod motor powered drag car on the planet and OEM supplier for Ford Performance Parts:



“The Manley rod is a serious piece. The original I beam rods lasted reliably up until around 1300 hp. Thus the 300 M rods were designed. There are many other options, Oliver probably being the best, the problem is the wait time. As far as weight is concerned, heavy seems to keep getting mentioned. Just what does that mean and being relative to what? The 4.6 300 M rods are around 650 grams give or take a few. If you look at a comparable Oliver or any other manufacturers rods they simply are heavier. The normal Manley I beam rod is 600 grams.
We have reliably made over 1700 hp with the Manley rod and to date have never, ever bent one, broke one , or damaged one.
We ran over the weekend in Las Vegas testing with the Pro Stock guys for Pomona. 10 passes between 6.79 and 6.73. Best pass was 6.731 @210.96
The best Pro Stock that I saw was Greg Anderson @ 6.82 @ 203.5

10 passes, 10.7 to 1 compression, 40 psi boost and 9200 rpm shifts, I'd call the Manley rod a good piece for the money.
John Mihovetz.

World's Fastest Mod Motor - First Mod Motor Into 8's, 7's, 6's, 5's - First + 200, 210, 220, 230, 240; 250 Mph - World's Fastest Ford Lightning - Fastest Screw Supercharged Lightning - Fastest Screw Shelby - Fastest Turbo Mustang - Fastest Ford GT 1/2 and 1 Mile - Two Standing Mile World Records - PSCA Pro Street Champion - Eight PSCA Pro Street Wins - Seven Time NHRA Record Holder”

That quote came out in 2003 and the Manley has a proven track record of holding up to MUCH less HP in the last 16 years. You are recycling BS to fit your agenda.

This cat is why marketing is key. If you can sell bullshit with some fancy words guys like him will eat it up.

Ronny Diaz "Modfather", pulling mid 5sec quarters on a regular basis.

6.7sec is considered slow!

That test was from 2005. Tire technology has moved forward a lot since then. IF you could get them in a 275/315 17" combo the Bridgestone RE-71R, Dunlop Direzza ZIII, Falken Azenis RT-615K+, and the Hankook Ventus R-S4 would all kick the Goodyear's butt in any kind of wet/dry test because all of them at one time post 2010 were the top UTQG 200 autocross tire. All 4 could do .99 G on the skidpad dry, and most were well above .80 G in the wet. Big if since nobody makes a lot of the 275/40-17 and 315/40-17 sizes, especially the later. So the tires they do make are kept around for cars of older vintage that don't have the handling of newer cars (or they believe so) and therefore aren't as good but were good when they were made.
The GS-D3 is not even the best Goodyear tire as there is now a higher category type classification over Max Performance Summer called Extreme Performance Summer. Biggest reason why they are not made much anymore is due to newer cars with much bigger brakes from the factory. You need at least 18" wheels for 4-piston brakes and 19" ones for 6-piston brakes on the front wheels. Plus the cars tend to be better balanced so a really big stagger difference is not conducive to good handling. On my 17 GT-350 for auto-x I run 305/30R-19 Kumho Ecsta V720 on all 4 corners instead of the factory stagger of 295/305. On my previous 13 GT Brembo car I ran 275/35-18 on 19x9.5" on the track and 285/35-19 and 265/35-19 on the street on a stagger of 19x10 and 19x9. When I raced my SN95 Cobra in the SCCA I ran 275/40-17s on 17x9" for all 5 seasons.

if 3 tires with the same size aren't the same width, at least two of them are wrong.

315mm/ 25.4mm = 12.40"

if they differ, than they aren't really 315 tires.
Your have to remember its a ratio not a fixed number, plus different sidewall technology means the sidewall width is pretty meaningless except when you are trying to fit them under the fenders without hitting the suspension. Only thing that counts is tread width. And if your wheels are not the exacted quoted size you have to subtract .2" of tread for every .5" less of wheel width (and also add that if your wheels are wider).

in tire sizes, like 245/45r17, the 45 is a ratio. the 245 is not.

Agreed that not all wheels are on exact specs, which can make tires bulge more or less on a given setup. still, given a set wheel, all 245 tires should measure 245. All 245/45r17 tires should be the same. Change to a 16 inch wheel and the sidewall height will change though. that's where the ratio comes in.

This isn't pirates of the Caribbean, theyre rules, not guidelines. unfortunately not all tire makers see it that way.

That test was from 2003, almost 17 years of tire technology advancement since then.


The challenge I put on you is to find a better ultra high performance street tire in the 315/35/17 and 275/40/17 sizes that performs incredibly will in the dry and the wet and can out perform the Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD 3 . In the popular 17 mustang size of 275/40/17 and 315/35/17, you can’t beat the GSD 3, period, end of discussion.

I’ve driven my Goodyear Eagle GSD 3 super wide 315/35/17 tires at speed in the rain. Have you?

Your experience is not a valid reason.
I have driven a Mickey Thompson ET Street 275/60-15 drag radial in the rain at speed on multiple occasions.
So by that reasoning, the MT ET Street is the best 15" tire for the street. Even though it really isn't.


lets review the facts. :
1. He drove them in the rain
2. it has a incredible tread pattern don't tell me you didn't cum when you saw it......

1. I drove mine in the rain!

2. Even sexier tread pattern!
