    Strange Observation regarding Engine Vibration

    2019 Honda Accord, 1.5T. 0w20 oil. Quaker State Full Synthetic and Purolator One Filter. Also changed the plugs to NGK Lazer ILZKAR8JSY, which are the OE equivalents. Recently noted several annoying buzzing and rattles within the dash. They are mostly sympathetic vibrations that correlate with...

    So I got the Michelin Defender 2

    Was set on the Pirelli P7 AS Plus 3 for my 2019 Accord (225/50/17) and my Wife's CRV. But I was also interested in the CrossClimate 2. I stopped at the Discount Tire and talked with the guy that sold me the Continental PureContact LS. I liked the tires, but they wore fast, and became noisy...

    2017 Honda CRV Brakes drove me crazy

    I'm a former master wrench, but have been out of the game for a long time, other than taking care of family vehicles. I've used Akebono pads almost exclusively for decades. Yesterday, I replaced the pads and rotors on my wife's 2017 Honda CRV. Something that drove me crazy were those spring...

    2022 Hyundai SEL...any opinions?

    I test drove an N-line and was impressed. It was comfortable, quiet, lots of space, had all the features I need, and handled with surprising agility. Even with the tires overinflated to 37psi, it was a smooth ride. The only ding I noticed was acceleration. I read somewhere that 0-60 is around 9...

    Continental Pure Contact LS singing

    I reside in SE Michigan, and have a 2019 Honda Accord LX with 17" wheels. At 20k miles, the stock Hankook Kinergy GTs were getting loud and spinning easily. I was looking for a good balance of quietness and the ability to handle our rapid weather changes. Indeed, we can hit 100 in the summer...
