My buddy has CC2's on his Sienna and they're going way past their wear out warranty. They're loud(er) but that's not what he notices nor cares about. What he notices is that he doesn't have to change out summer/all season tire to winter tires every season and feels like he's getting his monies...

WOW! I ordered the tires on Friday morning and they arrived early on Saturday afternoon ~1:00 I've been buying tires for ~25 years from TR or DTD etc. and this is the fastest delivery ever!

I've been using ST 0W20 for years without issue. Using CarQuest oils as well and I am very happy.

Are they the Destination LE, LE2 or LE3? They've always been a good tire and I have recommended them to others over the years and they've been happy with them. They have always done well in foul weather, ride & handle decently but I can't remember if they are a quiet tire.

Hi loneryder, The TireRack site states...$20.50 per tire instantly with every tire purchase on the Scorpion AS PLUS 3. I had a typo earlier in my statement by saying, $21.50, my mistake! I did a little searching in other sizes and sadly it's not on every size. However, some sizes actually have...

Yeah, Michelin are not as quiet at they once were. Nice! After I have my guy install & RFB, I'll be at ~$830 when all is said & done.

After reading all of the reviews of these Pirelli Scorpion AS PLUS 3 tires and watching the TireRack's video on them, I finally ordered 4 from the TR for my '23 VENZA LE (225-60-18). There is a $100 Pirelli rebate(7/17- 8/6) on these tires(others too) as well as $21.50/tire($82) right off the...

RIP I remember when he first jumped from the heavens. It was scary as I watched the video.

My understanding is that the 3.5L V6 in the new Pilot has been reworked more for the emissions than power. Keep in mind that this video is from 2023 when the Pilot was redesigned. At 2:54 in the video, Alex explains more about how the engine is new as well as the whole vehicle. And IMHO, Alex is...

In the mid 70's, there was a band out of Germany called "LAKE". I bought their first album as it was promoted on our local FM station. It was a decent LP but they were short lived here in the states. I supposed they're still around in some form around the world as I did look them up. Does anyone...

I am keeping the battery on the maintainer. I am(now) noticing that when the voltage reaches 13.6v-13.7v, the maintainer turns off(stops charging) and the battery is holding a higher voltage while resting. I want to see if after a week or longer, the battery will hold closer to 13.4v-13.5v when...

I’ve seen these products & demonstrations at auto shows.

Since the mainstream compact SUVs are the largest selling segment outside of pickup trucks, car mfg’s are putting their best foot forward in this class and there are many very good options out there. Test drive the ones that most interest you or all of them. Some may surprise you with how good...

Greetings! My neighbor gave me,(no lie, a brand new looking) INTERSTATE Deep Cycle Marine Battery(FLA) from 2017 which is rated atop the battery info, 800CCA/1000MCA. He must'a bought it and never used it, just sitting on a shelf. There are no witness marks on the battery posts. It looks unused...

I always take my time and drive just about every vehicle in the segment that I’m looking at. Even the same vehicles from different dealerships this way I can judge consistency in the quality and trim levels. Often, vehicles surprise me. For example, the vehicle that ranks lower on my list is way...
