Explorer ST Street And Track Packages
- Thread starter ExplorerST
- Start date
Got this from a Cars.com article.
"The ST is also offered with either of two available performance packages: the ST Street Pack or the ST High-Performance Pack. Both have rather similar contents: 21-inch black wheels, more robust brakes and better tires. But the High-Performance Pack just turns up the dial a bit more, with “high-performance” versus “performance” brakes and a more aggressive tire, Michelin Latitude Sport 3 versus Pirelli Scorpion Zero."
The extra $600 isn't just for brake pads (that is Audi RS5 OEM pricing... ask me how I know
). So, in addition to the upgraded pads, the $600 gets you a summer Michelin instead of the all-season Pirelli. One more note... according to Michelin's website, the 275/45-21 is unavailable to order online. "Please visit your closest dealer to order this tire".
I am curious if that is actually the case since I've read conflicting stories on the internet. Anyone with the track pack out there to verify what Cars.com states?

When I was shopping, it wasn't clear as to what the difference between the regular ST and the street performance brakes was. I finally found the answers:
The regular ST front brakes have 13.6" rotors vs 14.3" for the Street pack
Rears are 12.6" for the standard brakes and 13.8" for the street pack.
I'm not sure why they bothered having a set of brakes on the standard ST that are a downgrade from the 2019 XLT explorer.

Is there any way to tell with the wheel mounted if the dealer installed the HPP pads? I have doubts that the dealer actually did install them. I just took delivery yesterday. Tire pressures were almost at 50 PSI on all corners and all fluids were not topped off. I'm not sure that they actually prepped much.
