Car reviews from the driver’s point of view.

Most videos are recorded with binaural audio, headphones are highly recommended for the best listening experience. I post 2-4 videos/week, reviewing our weekly press cars, my personal vehicles, or anything else I've managed to get my hands on.

Most new cars on this channel are provided by the vehicle manufacturer for testing and review.

Personal cars:
2001 Honda S2000
2023 Chevrolet Camaro SS 1LE (2SS 6MT)
2023 Honda Civic Type R
2024 Ford Ranger Raptor

I'm also the producer of the Winding Road YouTube Channel.

All of the filming equipment is listed in each video's description along with an amazon affiliate link.

Really happy with how the Ranger Raptor drives on 35s. Just added a 1” front strut spacer, did a ride height recalibration and an alignment. No rubbing, fuel economy seems to be the same, and power still feels awesome (even on the stock tune) with the extra weight & tire diameter.

Now it’s time to test it off-road!

I guess this is why you want valve stem protection off-road…a rock cut the tip right off! That said, the Land Rover Defender is one of the most capable stock vehicles we’ve ever driven. Stay tuned for the video!

Two performance extremes showed up today to test and review from ⁠‪@bridgestonetires‬: Potenza RE-71RS (Type R) and 35” Firestone Destination M/T2s (Ranger Raptor).

Funny to see how 265/35r19 track tires and 315/70r17 mud-terrains manage to be the exact same width stacked up next to each other.

And I couldn’t wait, had to get the M/T2s mounted on the Ranger Raptor…35s just barely clear with factory beadlock-capable wheels and bone stock suspension. Upper tie rod clearance is tight with the +55mm offset. Crash bar/mud flap clearance is very close too.

I removed the lowest mounting screw on the rokblokz mud flaps (still solid) and was able to loosen the crash bars, push them away from the tires slightly and retighten them. After this I have zero rubbing on the street. Will report back if that’s still the case off-road and we’ll go from there!
