    So I got the Michelin Defender 2

    I have Michelin Defenders T+H on my 2018 Mazda3 sedan, they are pretty worn out now and need to be replaced soon. They are hard yes, and they get more noisy over time, and even harder, which is normal due to heat cycles over time. My car is not that heavy and has a stiff suspension, I will...

    Yokohama vs Khumo vs Toyo 205/60/16

    I think most Walmart here in Canada don't sell tires anymore, I can't think of another store to get them.

    Yokohama vs Khumo vs Toyo 205/60/16

    Hey folks, I am looking to replace my worn out Michelin Defender T+H on my 2018 Mazda3 sedan, they got so noisy over time, and its time to replace them. I was looking at the Yokohama Avid Ascend LX, the Toyo Extensa AS II or the Khumo Solus TA51a. I can't seem to find any Khumo Escta LX...

    CVT durability

    I'm looking for a 2024 Honda Civic with the CVT. Are those durable with regular maintenance? like a conventional automatic? I'm sure this has been debated on here many times, but I'm very hesitant. Thanks for the inputs.

    Continental True Contact Plus tires installed and review of my old Goodyears

    I bought a set of TrueContact Tour and two of them were balanced three times and still were not balanced after that, always a vibration in them. Took them back and got four Michelin Defenders T+H and balanced them once, never needed to be balanced since I bought them in 2019. Hope you have...

    Humming noise from tires after transmission replacement

    Well I knew there was something off when I drove it back home, they obviously removed the transmission, and everything attached to it.

    Humming noise from tires after transmission replacement

    it could be very possible, I really doubt its the tires to be honest and wheel alignment, so that would be my guess as well.

    Humming noise from tires after transmission replacement

    okay, but the alignment shop told me they could check this out when aligning, it seems to go stray, however I am not 100% sure of that, I need to find a nice flat road surface to test it out, without wind.

    Humming noise from tires after transmission replacement

    I mentioned this to the alignment shop and they said they will check for the cradle during the alignment, surprisingly, it was not that off in the front wheels, the back wheels were still aligned from the last alignment I did 3 years ago. So yes they did check for this issue and it seems to be...

    Humming noise from tires after transmission replacement

    Good day, I recently had my 2018 Mazda3 GS automatic transmission replaced, the idiots at the dealership replaced the original one due to a 3rd and 5th gear malfunction (there was an actual bulletin made by Mazda for this) and they overfilled the new transmission with the wrong fluid and added...

    Opinion on Honda's 1.5 L turbo

    I am shopping for a civic, and found this 2022 Touring Civic sedan with only 15 000 km, price is decent. Now, should I worry about the 1.5 turbo? Seems like this engine is being bashed for the oil dilution problem from years back. Anyone have a 1.5 turbo with high mileage? I also heard it has...

    Can oxygen sensor trigger bad shifting?

    its seems like the same downshifting problem that I had before with the old transmission, into 5th and 3rd gear. Mazda actually put out a bulletin for this issue, I wonder if its just the TCM, if they ever changed it.

    Can oxygen sensor trigger bad shifting?

    I had the transmission on my 2018 Mazda3 changed around six months ago. Was running perfectly fine till recently. Seems to be upshifting right, but downshift or passing a car, the engine seems to choke and slams into a hard downshift, seems to be 3rd and 5th gear (I have the automatic). This...

    Mazda dealer refused to change transmission fluid

    Pretty much, I don't know if that series of transmission had issues before, I assume they did, I had no problem getting a new one. Mazda will ship the new transmission on the 8th of September, will receive it at the dealership on the 15th of September.

    Mazda dealer refused to change transmission fluid

    Correct. There was no code, nothing. All the computer readings were like there was nothing wrong with the car.
