    Anyone Driven Snow Compounds this time of the year

    Anyone Driven Snow Compounds this time of the year :rolleyes: Gummi Bear compounds on hot blacktop.... I never have and am heavily contemplating it for this one stint....

    Break in Oil

    For ///M applications, has there even been a thread on the Break in Oil/Diff to confirm whether it's thicker, thinner or just the same oil....but they just want to dump out what metal has come off at the break in oil change mile marker. I stated thicker, thinner and the same as I don't even...

    Just missed the deal of the decade.

    I don't own them outside of warranty but have seen pricing on what my preferred Indy's do at their shops. He's still charging me generally per time spent and maybe ++ 60-90 minutes more.....depending on the job and the same labor rate from like EON's ago. However, what I have seen on the 2...

    N63 - Running Scheduled Service Intervals

    I've done mid cycle OCI on my current N63TU3. Was going to stretch the factory scheduled to October-November, but I just had it done.... All in all, my mid cycle OCI had like 3000 miles on it . Mainly as I got too annoyed as the -NAG- screen on the cluster was something that needed to be...

    Do tire stores remove stick on wheel weight residue when balancing?

    In my use case.....I've generally visiting the tire shop when getting new tires and or a patch. In either scenario, either it's still winter and I'm bringing a full summer set to the shop or in the case of a patch, I will remove the wheel @ home and drive the wheel to the shop. OCD here so I...

    How often do you inspect your tires

    I check my tires out almost weekly.....before or after I wash the car, I aim to look a the treads wherever expose just short of where it faces inside the wheelweel or the part that is the ground. Removed all 4 wheels today and never noticed this slit with cord showing until it was literally off...

    Does DOT Matter to you....

    These tires are always generally around the same MAP:MSRP. Only discount is your typical $100-$150 rolling promos depending on whenever Michelin is having a rebate. It's just mildly -late- into the season and before I know it , winter tars are going on, but it's been getting milder and milder...

    Does DOT Matter to you....

    Hit a pothole.....only to realize I got 2 bubbles on the left side. Sigh.... Swapped to other Summer Set... 295/35/21 and 315/30/22 PS4S... May run them next season. May not. I'm on the fence. Could just order replacement just to get it over with on the -never ending punchlist- and be over...

    Digital Level Sensor.......and not overfilling

    I've been tinkering with the readings. Whether its @ temp from a 8 minute spirited drive from a cold start. Same for 1 hr commute. No indifference. It's full on the stick yet 1/4 low on the digital. It was -full mark- right after the OCI - but even after that smidge of top off and multiple...

    Digital Level Sensor.......and not overfilling

    One fleet in the chassis we may be keeping past 36 months so I've been doing mid cycle oil changes. I'm 2000 miles in. On the dipstick, it showed full and the -digital- reading it showed max mark upon OC Noticed on the digital recently , it seemed a 1/4 low even though dipstick did not seem to...

    QS Euro

    Slightly annoying as the NAG screen on the OCI comes up and since I do my own mid-cycle, I aim to stretch it to about 5K on my mid cycle, which I may not stretch that much as the NAG sceen doesn't go away unless you hit the (confirm message) each and every time the car is started.. Basically...

Yearly OCI I've done one mid cycle sofar with Castrol 0W40...have alot in the garage. Not sure if worthwhile to just buy some QS for mid cycle while...

    Tire Profile of Michelin PSAS4 - Wide 295/21

    Won't even be rotating this set.....it will be used primarily as Winter setup, but being all season, it does allow me to drift into delayed summer tire swaps. It's 10 1/2 and 11 inch staggered on this set I plan the PSAS4 on. I baby all my wheels but I'm pretty sure the PS4S has rim protection...

    Sidewall Compromised - Dare I run it

    On the right lane....had to cut a hard right to prevent the middle lane driver who insisted on breaking the right with no room to spare. I felt I touched the mini -curb-shoulder transition but when I pulled over mainly to see if I ### curbed rash the right side wheels. All was well so off I...
