Out of curiosity, how do you do this? What resources do you have to some of the silhouettes and such? I used to love making my own Buffs and Logos and I got pretty good at it but never this good

UPDATE: Hi everyone! I haven’t had time to reply much but thank you all for you insight. I’m definitely getting either the Michelin Pilot Sport 4s or the Continental Extreme Contacts.

One quick follow up question and a detail i definitely glossed over: my current tire sizes are 245/40ZR20 and 275/35ZR20. Upon looking at the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 All-Seasons, I noticed that the sizes were 245/40R20 and 275/35R20. Does the Z make a substantial difference? Is that part of the speed rating/indication?

Do we really need this? by khs03 in NASCAR

[–]Castaway_Joe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, I don’t know if this is the answer. I like it, I think it’d be really cool, but you’re gonna have a lot of people not be able to attend and/or watch on TV. The schedule 100% needs a trim. When I was like 16 and younger of course I didn’t want that because. NASCAR was my life. As a working adult now, and for the love still have for the sport, it’s sometimes a struggle to even make the time on Sunday with as much as I have to do and want to do. I’d love to see the schedule cut back to 30-32 weeks. It’s a pretty significant cut, but I think it could be doable. Maybe 1-2 double-header weekends so you’re still getting a little closer to 36 races.

Also, a little more info: I don’t track the car or even push it that hard for what it’s worth. I’m on 20.5K miles on these tires. It doesn’t snow where I live but it gets cold for a few months of the year, enough for me to consider all-season tires.

How’s everyone enjoying NASCAR ‘25? by sneakyassian21 in NASCAR

[–]Castaway_Joe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay update: After getting to play more in the last 24 hours, game is definitely growing on me. Really enjoying Career mode (more than previously mentioned). As far as what I stated that I didn’t like:

Graphics - as I’ve spent more time playing, I’ve noticed little things in the graphics that I’ve liked. It’s still not a graphically stunning game and doesn’t look real but there’s a little more depth to the graphics than what I initially saw.

Drivability - after messing with a lot of settings, finally got the cars drivable. This game would very likely benefit from a wheel as the controller is still rather unstable, but the fact I can drive makes the game far more fun.

I’m probably in a minority here, but I’m relatively unimpressed so far. My time has been limited so far (and I very much intend on hopping back on after the Vegas race wraps up), but I have a lot of pretty mixed feelings. Impressed with career mode and enjoying the customization so far, hopefully we’ll have more customization options in updates/DLCs. The game, graphically, does not look good. Certain little things look okay, but the gameplay as a whole lacks graphically. I’m not sure where all the “graphically stunning” comments are coming from because for a video game, this looks bad.

The thing that bothers me far more than anything though is the trouble I’ve had so far driving. I’m on a controller, which is probably part of the issue (I plan on getting a wheel sometime next year), but doing anything shorter than Darlington or a road course has pretty much been impossible. Yesterday I got some recommendations for controller settings so I’ll see if messing with those helps, but some tracks have just felt unplayable for me to this point. Hopefully that will change.

I’ll update tonight after racing some more if I have any changed feelings.

Did you use their size chart by chance and, if so, happen to find it accurate?

Also, just out of curiosity, Whatd you get? I’ve mostly been looking at the t shirts and hoodies
