    Picked up some Mobil 1 ESP 0W-30

    No, that wasn't offered. But I'm ok. Got what I was looking for. And as far as online, I rarely think of that for my automotive stuff.

    Picked up some Mobil 1 ESP 0W-30

    Walmart has been out of Mobil 1 ESP 0W-30 the last few times I was there. I'm blaming the oil situation since I keep seeing articles about it. So yesterday I'm at AA picking up some Carquest filters for my wife's car, and there it is: Mobil 1 ESP. It cost a lot more than Walmart, but I...

    Just came back from Walmart. No Mobil 1 ESP 0w30. Overall, shelves had less than usual. I'll try a different Walmart in a few days.

    I am considering the ExtremeContact DWS 06 plus if I bail on the LE3s.

    Firestone Destination LE3: Very disappointed in wet handling

    Maybe the road surface was the problem. I'll keep an eye on it. I'm not in a hurry to spend more money on tires, but also don't want to slide off the side of the road when it's wet.

    Firestone Destination LE3: Very disappointed in wet handling

    I'll give it a little more time and hopefully some more rain driving. I'll see what happens. But to your point, I have not experienced this behavior before. The Santa Fe only has 37,000 miles so it's not like it's worn out.

    Firestone Destination LE3: Very disappointed in wet handling

    I've had the Destination LE3s for about a year and a half, putting approx. 17,000 miles on them on my Hyundai Santa Fe AWD. I'm a fairly gentle driver so the tires have worn evenly and look almost new. I had prioritized quietness and low weight when I got them, and they have been very quiet...

    How big is your stash, hoarders?

    I'm a small time hoarder right now in anticipation of some shortages in the near future. I've got six jugs of ESP 0w-30. Might pick up some more.
