    Pirelli P Zero AS Plus 3

    I had a set of Pirelli Scorpion all season plus 3 and I loved them except for one thing. They had a shake to them that could not be fixed because they all had excessive road force. Finally after a year of dealing with that discount tire swapped the tires to another brand and the shake was...

    Picked up a new Explorer ST

    Over all the Acura fit and finish is better, it really is. Even simple stuff like a mold line in the plastic or and A pillar trim that’s raw in the explorer but covered in fabric on the Acura makes a big difference. The one thing that really I don’t like with the Ford is that the under hood...

    Picked up a new Explorer ST

    Well that left us with 35k financed and put the wife at a comfortable monthly payment. After we sell the civic to her dad we will be around 6K out of pocket. Totally agree with putting money away and we have been putting a lot away lately

    Picked up a new Explorer ST

    Thanks for the positive comments! So if anyone is looking for a new car or truck I can’t say enough about the dealer we bought the ST from. Laura Ford in Sullivan Missouri was very good. No BS, no hidden fees, no pressure, the price it was listed for online was the true price, no dealer extras...

    Picked up a new Explorer ST

    I have no idea what a base model goes for. I worded the pricing info wrong, tired lol. MSRP was 62K After dealer discounts, manufacture rebates, tax, ect it was 54K . So 54K was the price of the car. Then we decided to put a down payment or around 19K down. So we financed 35K at 0% for 60...

    Picked up a new Explorer ST

    Yup. My dad has. 2.7 in his F-150 with 130k on the dash and not a single engine issue. He doesn’t exactly maintain it either. My friend has a 22 ST and it’s been very good to them.

    Honda Pilot/Acura MDX 3.5 V6 direct injection?

    I have the VCM and auto start stop disabled with the muzzler and the IDS controller to save the motor mounts. I haven’t noticed any fuel in the oil and my drive is 4 miles to work so unless I get out on the open highway on the weekends the MDX is a short tripper.

    Picked up a new Explorer ST

    My wife decided that she would rather have an SUV that the entire family was comfortable in instead of her little 2017 civic. BTW it’s been a great car that’s going to her dad to replace his 2008 Accord. She originally wanted a Bronco because they looked cool but after we test drove one we...

    Roadforce Numbers OK But Possible Bad Lateral Runout?

    Glad you got it figured out. I went for a year with Discout tire trying to make my Pirelli tire vibration go away and they didn’t believe me when I kept telling them it’s the tires. They finally caved and put different tires on. Problem solved.

    New tire balance question

    Unfortunately I have the same tires on 2022 Acura MDX that discount tire installed about a year ago and have the same shaking issues. Discount has balanced them multiple times, road forced them, ect with no fix. They are now blaming my issue on my MDX and that I need to take it in to a dealer...
