    Continental Extreme Contact DWS 06 Plus

    Goodyear Eagle Exhilarate is still my pick out of the UHP all season bunch. Drives smoother and more precise than the Michelin and is a complete beast in the rain. Basically a summer tire that doesn’t turn to rock when it gets cold. Snow performance with any of the UHP tires is basically “I got...

    2013 Acura TL SH-AWD w/ 31k miles overkill new owner maintenance - Amsoil Signature 5W20 and Amsoil filter?

    Stick some Goodyear Eagle Exhilarates on it instead. Have had both and all they did with the PS AS 4 vs the AS 3+ is try to increase the snow traction, and what that means with these tires is "good enough to make it home without crashing into the snowplow as it pushes snow out of the way ahead...

    Duralast Platinum made by Odyssey

    Working great so far, that 1250 pulse hot cranking amps really winds that starter up! They are $199 like the rest of the Platinum lineup and it's easy to get a $10 off coupon if you just add one to the cart overnight so they send you an email coupon. I only saw 2 on the shelf in the in the H6/48...

    Duralast Platinum made by Odyssey

    Was looking for a new Group 48/H6 after my 2nd Die Hard JCI AGM bit the dust. Didn't want to buy another JCI AGM that everyone is selling with a different sticker on it. Walked into Autozone to check out the Odyssey and found this, an Odyssey in a black case that says Duralast Platinum for $60...

    Michelin Premier LTX Different Tread

    Agreed the original LTX MS and MS/2 were the best tires ever. We ran the originals over 100k on a Mazda Tribute and they would have gone further if we hadn't slacked off on the rotations at 80k miles. Sold the Mazda with the MS/2 on it and they still looked great after 60k. Looks like it will...

    Michelin Premier LTX Different Tread

    2004 MDX looking for some new shoes. Currently running Continental LX20 that have started to hydroplane now that they have around 45k on them. Always used to run Michelins on everything but these LX20's were far better than the Latitude Tours it had before. Tried the Yokohama YK-HTX and took...

    Does anyone have any problems with discount tire?

    I had them swap out some Yokohamas for Michelins after I put about 1000 miles on the Yokohamas. They didn't even hesitate when I asked for an exchange.

    Losing Faith...

    I would skip the store management and go straight to corporate with this issue. They obviously have an employee who is a stale leftover of the occupy Wall st movement bent on destroying the 1%. Explain to them how this could have caused severe damage to this wonderful example of teutonic...

    Valero's position on Top Tier fuels....

    Originally Posted By: RTexasF I'll believe they are top tier when I see it posted on the pumps and will likely still steer clear of them. I noticed yesterday it is now posted on the pump here in Colorado. We've been using it for years and never had a problem. Always good mileage out of it.

    Pennzoil Ultra on closeout, is it worth hoarding?

    Must be a regional thing, the Maxlife Full Syn is finally on the shelves at Walmarts around here, meanwhile the Ultra sits on the closeout shelves for $21 and still nobody is buying. It seems like Castrol Edge Titanium even outsold the Ultra here, and even that is being closed out. I wonder if...

    Pennzoil Ultra on closeout, is it worth hoarding?

    Right now they are clearing out the SN Ultra $21 for the 5qt and $5 for the quarts. If you look closely at the price tag it shows how many weeks it has been on clearance, 5 & 6 weeks in this case. I know other people have said that it eventually drops to $10 and $2.50. I wonder how many weeks...

    Pennzoil Ultra on closeout, is it worth hoarding?

    All the Walmarts are blowing out the Pennzoil Ultra, is this stuff worth stocking up on or not? Seems that the excitement people had about it 2 years ago has faded. Just got an excellent 2004 Acura MDX with only 92k on it and I'm thinking about running the 5W-20 Ultra.

    Castrol SLX professional?

    This is the Canadian stuff they marketed to Corvette owners to meet the GM4718 spec. Not too long after, Castrol Edge 5W-30 jimmy the dipstick commercials started showing up in the US. Same stuff. Good stuff.
