For sure! That was my general assumption as well. Hopefully they'll get to a similar comparison.

I found this testing interesting so I figured I'd share it here. I've been seeing a lot more "all-weather" tires here in Michigan (the tread pattern of the CC2s is hard to miss) and I've always been curious how they actually compare to dedicated winters. As I currently run Blizzak WS80s, I...

I am also curious about this oil and would love to see a VOA! I've been tempted to switch to it in my '16 Accord that has shown decent fuel dilution with a few UOAs (currently running Valvoline Extended Protection 0w-20.)

That's great to hear, thanks! I am getting them installed tomorrow.

A couple of MANN filters - the OE Smart filters are becoming a little harder to find....I sourced this one through "Smart Madness" (first purchase with them). Plus 10 quarts of Mobil 1 0w-40

Good question. Almost two years (with a lot of short trips) just feels like a really long time and Mobil 1 0w-40 is pretty reasonably priced. Especially two 5qt jugs perfectly covers the Smart car and BMW. I was tempted to get a UOA but decided not to....I did get a UOA on my 328 with a similar...

I run the same size for my winter set! The ride quality is much better than the 235/40/19 config. Hopefully they expand the sizes they offer.

I appreciate the comments everyone! I have had previous generations of both all season and summer-only Michelin Pilot Sports and really liked them, but I think I will give these Pirellis a try. Between summer, winter, and UHP all season tires, I have had Continental, Michelin, Dunlop, Hankook...

Thank you for the detailed write-up! This is exactly what I was looking for. I also typically only buy UHP A/S or Summer Tires. Sounds like you have a really fun set up! Yes, I did see the TireRack review / video and is partially what making me lean towards the Pirellis. I will still have my...

Thanks for the feedback everyone! I wish the fuel dilution wasn't so high, but it seems to be the answer. I'd hate to see the results if I followed the OLM!

I need new tires for my '16 Accord Sport in the stock 235/40/19 and I'm curious if anyone has tried the Pirelli P Zero AS Plus 3s? I was initially planning on getting Michelin Pilot Sport AS 4s, but it appears the Pirellis are rated better in several aspects. They also currently have a $100...

This is the 3rd UOA for my 2016 Accord with 42,618 miles. Here is the first using Valvoline Modern Engine and the second using Extended Protection. Time on oil was almost exactly 1 year (361 days) and 3,729 miles. The OLM showed 60% life remaining. This was Valvoline Extended Protection...

The battery died in my parents' Smart ForTwo and I knew the battery in their 325 was getting up there - so I went ahead and replaced both for them with: EverStart Platinum AGM H8 (Made in Germany) for a 2006 BMW 325ci EverStart Platinum AGM H5 (Made in Mexico) for a 2008 Smart ForTwo I was...

Update - Mid-split upgrade has been completed in my neighborhood! While nowhere near fiber symmetrical speeds - uploads improved to 120 Mbps.

I'm getting a little over 1 Gbps Down /40 Mbps Up (at the router) after just switching to Xfinity's new 1gig / 1 year plan. It also removed the 1.2TB monthly data cap. I should be paying $50 ($7 more) moving from my old plan where I was seeing 480Mbps down. I've recently started a long...

Yeah this was definitely longer than what I typically feel comfortable with! However, I figured with the Mobil 1 0w-40 being well rated for long intervals it should be ok if we don't make a habit of it. These vehicles usually get up to temp for a while when driven, so I'm more focused on the...
