    Post your last tire/wheel purchase

    2017 F150 265/70/r17 145k Miles Off: Michelin LTX 99k Miles on them! On: Goodyear Workhorse HT I was shocked when I found the Michelins lasted 99k miles! I wanted another set of Michelins but the the premium they charge is just too much. The Goodyears were $806 all-in installed at Sam's...

    2015 Subaru Forester TR580 CVT Transmission Bearing Replacement

    Thank you. It was audible in gear driving around. To confirm, I put the car on 4 jack stands and had someone drive slowly while I listened near the transmission. 1 bearing had damage, I replaced all 4.

    Goodyear Wrangler Workhorse HT

    Good to hear. I have been kicking around getting a set for my F150. It's >$300 less than a set of Michelins which is a compelling price difference.

    Has anyone used an aftermarket valve body for the Subaru TR580 CVT?

    I have not used the aftermarket valve body but i did use the Dorman Solenoid. It's been working fine for 18 months. My take on your situation is the aftermarket valve body probably has no name solenoids on it. So if you are trying to be frugal, just buy the Dorman Solenoid for $50 and install...

    Does anyone here without a garage use a pop-up canopy tent?

    Yes, I have a 12x12 menards brand EZ up. Use it for outside projects, working on the cars, pulling weeds. Just move it as you go.

    Best/Worst A/C Performance in a car?

    My 2017 crew cab F150 has really good AC. It's a XLT without rear vents. Have to turn it down it runs so cold. Cools the big cabin fast and easy even just idling. Our subaru seems the have worse performance at idle vs. Driving around I'm assuming this is from airflow over the condenser.
