Results are in. Not much different than last time, I suppose, but to be expected as I do just one drain every time I service the A/T and do not disconnect any hoses. And downshift from 4th to 3rd is more smooth after the most recent D&F. I think this Vavloline fluid is pretty good. Code...

UPDATE: I drained and re-filled w/ Valvoline Import FS ATF this weekend. It's been about 15K miles since my original post. No dramatic change in performance but downshift from 4th to 3rd has been a bit rougher than I'd prefer. Don't know if I just recently started noticing it or it's been there...

Originally Posted By: slacktide_bitog All or most of their tires seem to be discontinued, particularly the popular passenger all season lines like the Assurance Comforted and TripleTred and the Fuel Max. Really? Didn't know. Is there a press release on that by chance?

Have a look at this good thread: https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/topics/4154642/Initial_impressions_-_Cooper_C Opinions do vary but are mostly positive. Some are reporting premature wear though. I'm keeping an eye an mine. Down to 9/32nds in 10K miles.

Originally Posted By: asiancivicmaniac UPS just delivered mine. They have a date code of 4215 so I guess they're probably not selling well, hence the additional rebate on them. Oh wow, that's probably from the original run. I believe originally these went on sale in early 2016 togetehr with...

It would be great if those that purchased could put some reviews up about the tires after they are mounted and potentially along the way of ownership... thanks in advance!

Right, not much by way of reviews. Azenis FK450 and Sincera SN250 A/S came out at the same time based on an article I read about a month ago. I think the roll out was Feb 2016 -- or it could have been just the announcement. Maybe there was a delay for FK?

Originally Posted By: SirTanon If I may make a suggestion... Have a look at Falken Azenis FK450 tires at Discount Tires Direct. Tremendous Rebates, and looks to be a pretty decent tire too. I'd be inclined to trust them over Ohtsu tires, at least. In your size: Definitely worth the look. All...

Originally Posted By: asiancivicmaniac Do you mind elaborating on what they mean by ride comfort? I don't have a subscription to consumer reports. I'm not a subscriber either -- was just going off of a recent CR buying guide I have. The comfort "rating" is subjective as you can imagine. I think...

I have CS5 Ultras, 215/60R16 95H. Got about 10K miles / one year on them. Rotated once so far. I did not measure but assume that tread depth was 11/32 originally (per manufacturer). I was at 9/32 @ 9K miles. Even wear all around as far as I could see. But that's a bit faster wear than I'd prefer...

Originally Posted By: SatinSilver Seems to get decent reviews so not a dog tire by an means. I can't do links at the moment but 1010tires has 25 reviews scoring 4 out of 5 stars. I believe that is for the summer tires. I cannot find FK450 on 1010tires Web site. CR, on the other hand, had an...

My main concern right now about CS5 Ultras is tread life -- I'm down to 9/32 after only about 9K miles on all four tires. The other thing is that handling stability is a bit worse than with the previous set (Kelly Explorer Plus) when winds are strong, esp. at highway speeds. We'll see how well...

My two vehicles have same tire sizes as yours and I've been doing quite a bit of reading on the subject lately. My personal experience with CS5 Ultra's has been limited so far (under 10K miles) but positive. Can't say whether or not the sidewall is soft -- kind of subjective. But overall grip...

Now I understand why Discount Tire dropped price on the (old) Arctics for at least one of the sizes I was looking to buy. That's assuming these Arctic 12's will make it to the U.S. market.
